Delhi gangrape: Convicts' families looked upon as guilty, ostracised
Families of the convicts in the December 16 Delhi gangrape case are being also looked upon as guilty and ostracised. The convicts were called inhuman killers, savages and hang them all was the chorus as death was the sentence served to them. But condemned along with them were their families. "I'm also a mother, why am I not being heard," questioned convict Vinay Sharma's mother Champa Devi.
"I'll kill my son and commit suicide, we do not deserve to live anymore. The judiciary gave death sentence to my husband, I want the govt to send poison to kill myself," said convict Akshay Thakur's wife Punita Devi.
Ravidass Camp, once just another slum in Delhi, became infamous for being home to the four convicts. Vinay Sharma's is the only family that still stays there. His mother even now is in denial.
