Andhra Clears 'Disha' Law To Punish Rape Convicts Within 21 Days

A proposed law for tougher punishment, including the death sentence, within 21 days for those guilty of crimes against women was cleared by the Andhra Pradesh assembly on Friday, a little over two weeks after a young woman's gang-rape and killing in neighbouring Telangana. The law has been dubbed the "AP Disha Act" after the name given to the woman in social media campaigns and protests after the horrific crime.
