Hyderabad, Oct 28: Welcoming the Madras High Court's recent suggestion that castration should be considered as an additional form of punishment for child rapists, the State Women's Commission (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana) today said it is "the best solution for rapists".
"I am very happy that one of the learned judges of the Madras High Court has expressed that castration is the best solution for the rapists of minor girls. Not now, some 15 years back in several meetings I expressed the same opinion.
Asked if she looks forward to the government making castration as an additional punishment, Tripurana said, "I doubt.
