History

Historical Context

The 16 December 2012 Delhi gang-rape triggered the Verma Committee, which logged roughly 80,000 public suggestions before submitting its report on 23 January 2013. Parliament then enacted the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act on 19 March 2013, strengthening the 2012 POCSO law. In Jamui, Bihar, police shot two suspects while filing a POCSO FIR, prompting Rahul Gandhi to demand swift justice under the same statutes.
