History

Historical Context

The 16 December 2012 gang-rape of Jyoti Singh in South Delhi sparked nationwide protests and the conviction of four attackers, who received death sentences, while a juvenile got three years. That outrage prompted legal changes, which officials in Bihar cite while responding to the recent Jamui assault, invoking the same statutes to protect women.
