Explanation

The brutal gang rape and murder of a young woman in Delhi in December 2012, known as the Nirbhaya case, triggered nationwide outrage.

It led to the formation of the Justice Verma Committee, whose recommendations resulted in the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013, introducing:

  • Broader definition of rape (Section 375),

  • New offenses like stalking, voyeurism, disrobing,

  • Increased punishments including life and death penalties,

  • Faster investigation and trial mechanisms.
