History

Historical Context

After the 16 December 2012 Delhi gang-rape of Jyoti Singh—known as the Nirbhaya case—protests forced the government to appoint the Justice Verma Committee and pass the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act on 3 February 2013, creating six fast-track courts and harsher penalties. That precedent now guides Ludhiana police investigating Twinkle Sharma’s assault, using CCTV and recalling the 2012 case was the only conviction among 706 Delhi rape filings.
