One of the men involved in the 2012 Delhi gang-rape has sparked outrage after claiming that the victim was to blame for being sexually assaulted.
“A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy,” Mukesh Singh said in an interview from jail, according to The Telegraph.
The 23-year-old was raped on a moving bus in Delhi and protests from women in India sought protection.
Singh claimed that women who went out at night were to be blamed if they got the attention of molesters.
“You can’t clap with one hand – it takes two hands,” he said, in an interview for a BBC documentary.
Not even slightly ashamed of his action, Singh stated,”“A decent girl won’t roam around at 9 o’clock at night. A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy. Boy and girl are not equal. Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing wrong things, wearing wrong clothes. About 20 per cent of girls are good.”
Singh described the killing as an accident and said that when a woman’s being raped, she shouldn’t fight back. “she should just be silent and allow the rape. Then they’d have dropped her off after ‘doing her’, and only hit the boy.”
He added that if Jyoti and her male friend had not resisted the rape then the gang members would not have beaten her up to death.
Singh, a slum-dweller who was 26 at the time of the attack, was driving the bus when the abduction occurred and denied involvement in the attack itself. However, the court rejected his claims adding there was strong DNA evidence against him and he could have stopped the act.
With his death sentence currently on appeal, Singh said the executions will only further put lives of future rape victims at risk.
“The death penalty will make things even more dangerous for girls,” he says. “Before, they would rape and say, ‘Leave her, she won’t tell anyone.’ Now when they rape, especially the criminal types, they will just kill the girl. Death,” he said.
its is HORRIBLE………
i wish i could kill him
i wish he get raped once..then take his interview…
Disgusting mentality like this makes me so angry. No matter what the victim is wearing or not wearing and doing or not doing, it is never their fault. Nothing legitimizes rape. I hope his appeal is rejected and he gets hanged.
Amazing. …the disgrace to humanity has the guts to blame it on the poor girl. …probably has no mother and sister. …should be sodmized on daily basis before his hanging
he must be hanged !!!
our system is great….the one who raped is freely commenting such type of foolish things and the girl got the punishment of the crime he has done !!!
Such mentally sick rabid dogs should have no place in a civilised society.
They should be euthanised and sent to hell to keep society safe from rabies.
Obviously it was a womans fault.. the woman who gave birth to a sick leech like him.. and many leeches like him.. i wonder how he would have made these audacious claims if he was aborted as soon as conceived…
he is a disgustful soul he shudn't exist
20% of the girls are good and rest should be allowed to be raped by Mukesh Singh. He didnt mention whether that includes his mom and sisters (if any). He should tell his mother just be silent and allow the rape.
Why he denied initially of being part in gang rape when he consider what he did is right?
According to him he should not be given death sentence but instead be allowed to rape 80% of the girls.
For him rape is not a crime but a punishment to girls. What about guys like you stop roaming after 9 PM?
Wish he could be given death sentence multiple times.
I am sure that before raping, he must have had molested and assaulted many women.
