History

Historical Context

The 2012 Delhi gang-rape of Jyoti Singh, known as Nirbhaya, sparked nationwide protests and led the Supreme Court to order a INR1,000 crore Nirbhaya Fund and the 2013 Criminal Law Amendment Act, creating six fast-track rape courts. That legacy of public pressure underpins the October 12 2026 BJP Mahila Morcha rally in Delhi, where Roop Kumari Choudhary and Daggubati Purandeswari demanded action against MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam.
