Former Chief Justice of India, D.Y. Chandrachud, discussed the 2012 Nirbhaya case in light of the recent Pune bus rape incident. He emphasized that while preventive measures are essential, completely eliminating such crimes is challenging. Chandrachud highlighted the importance of societal awareness and legal reforms to address sexual violence. He also noted that the Nirbhaya case led to significant changes in laws related to sexual offenses, including the introduction of the Nirbhaya Fund to support victims. Despite these efforts, he acknowledged that societal attitudes and systemic issues continue to pose challenges in preventing such crimes.
