Are such exemplary punishments not just a Band-Aid for a larger structural problem done to ease public rage over an issue or to reaffirm public faith in the State that refuses to take any effective structural measures for ensuring safety and well being of women?

The brutal sexual violence regularly meted out to women from marginalized communities or the state sponsored sexual violence by the army and the police in Kashmir, Bastar or the north east seldom provokes such public outrage.
