A deeply disturbing incident from Delhi has shaken the nation. A six-year-old girl was gangraped by three boys and the probe is now underway. Amid this, actress Bhumi Pednekkar has took to her social media and strongly reacted to the incident. She questioned the kind of environment we are growing in and also shared how we are punishing the voiceless in our country.
Talking to her Instagram stories, Bhumi shared a pic of news and wrote, "What is going on. We clearly are failing cause we haven`t till now been unable to instill fear into these monsters who think the can get away with sexual violence. Breaks my heart to see under age boys go through with something so heinous. Imagine the environments they are growing up in. We are punishing the voiceless in our country, and have sensationalised dogs being a threat! What about the fact, that a 6-year-old isn`t safe on our streets and actually no child is, cause in this case the perpetrators are also the victims. Wake up India.”
