Don't know how controversial my point would be. But I can't resist putting it across. We often see articles by researchers describing how disabled are perceived as asexual. On the other hand, we often see disabled women being sexually exploited either by force or otherwise. if disabled are perceived asexual, how are they becoming victims of such attacks? And when they are being exploited , just like any other women, how can one say that they are perceived asexual?
However, my point is not to shift the focus in the current case to academics. This is another case of extreme brutalness. Considering the helplessness of the victim in resisting the attack, her inability to call for rescue, the trauma she would be undergoing, etc., etc., the accused should be given a sentence nothing less than that given in case of Nirbaya, if proven to be truth.
