HC grants bail to rapists over girl's 'promiscuous attitude'
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has granted bail to three men convicted of the gang-rape and blackmail of a woman citing the victim's "promiscuous attitude". The victim's statement "offers an alternate conclusion of misadventure stemming from a promiscuous attitude and a voyeuristic mind", it observed. The HC ordered the convicts to undergo counselling to "correct their behavioural aberration".
