Where are we heading as humanity? Anushka Sharma on Kathua rape case

Mumbai, Apr 13 (IBNS): Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma on Friday reacted to the Kathua rape case, in which an eight-year old girl was gang-raped and murdered few months ago.

In a tweet, Anushka has questioned the humanity of the society.

Anushka's tweet reads, "The cruelest form of evil is harming an innocent child. What is happening to the world we live in??? These people should be given the most severe punishment there is! Where are we heading as humanity? Shaken to my core."

Asifa, the minor, was held captive by the accused at a temple and later she was raped, mutilated and murdered in Rassana village of Kathua months ago, crime branch of Jammu and Kashmir police stated.

However, several lawyers had stopped the police from registering cases against the accused in the case.

After six hours of ruckus, police could file the charge-sheets.

A bandh (strike) was also called in Jammu by several lawyers on Wednesday as a protest against the filing of charge-sheets.

The Crime Branch has already filed a charge sheet against eight accused who allegedly raped and murdered the eight year old child in Rassana area of Heeranagar.

There have been allegations that some BJP-backed supporters are trying to defend the rapists demanding transfer of case from Crime Branch to CBI.
