💨 Abstract

The Congress and NCP in Maharashtra have demanded the implementation of the Shakti bill, which includes provisions for the death penalty for atrocities against women and children. The bill, passed by the Maharashtra government four years ago, is still pending Central government approval. Former home minister Anil Deshmukh claims 1,500 cases of crime against women have been reported in the state in the last two years.
