Delhi bus gang rapist blames victim A girl is more responsible for rape

Matthew ChampionMar 02, 2015 We know we perhaps shouldn't be shocked by comments on sexual assault from a man convicted in a horrific gang rape case, but the below remarks are nevertheless truly and utterly deplorable, almost unbelievably so. Mukesh Singh was among five men and one male teenager convicted over the brutal rape and murder of 23-year-old Jyoti Singh, who was beaten with a metal rod and gang raped after getting on a bus with a male friend in Delhi in 2012. Jyoti, a medical student who had been to the cinema prior to the attack, died two weeks later from her injuries. Speaking as part of a BBC documentary due to be screened this week he blamed the medical student for fighting back against her attackers. When being raped, she shouldn't fight back. She should just be silent and allow the rape. Then they'd have dropped her off after 'doing her', and only hit the boy. Mukesh Singh added: You can't clap with one hand – it takes two hands. A decent girl won't roam around at 9 o'clock at night. A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy. Boy and girl are not equal. Housework and housekeeping is for girls, not roaming in discos and bars at night doing wrong things, wearing wrong clothes. About 20 per cent of girls are good. Mukesh Singh was driving the bus at the time of the attack but denied participating directly in it. He and three other men are appealing their convictions after being sentenced to death by hanging - one defendant was found dead in his cell in March 2013 while the teenager was sentenced to three years in a juvenile reform centre. India's Daughter, a BBC Storyville documentary by British filmmaker Leslee Udwin, will be shown on BBC Four on Sunday March 8. More: [14 signs we live in a rape culture]2Keep reading...Show less
