Rapist of a British Woman Gets Bail After Sentenced by Court

A Fast Track Trial Court of Jaipur sentenced Parvat Singh, 32, to prison on 23rd April’08 on charges of raping a British Woman. However the Jodhpur bench of Rajasthan High Court granted bail to the convict on 31st July’08 citing discrepancies in the evidences put forward by the victim and the investigating agency.

The victim, a 40-year-old British lady today (5th July) expressed outrage at the speedy bail granted to the convict without giving her a chance to be present in court and plead her case in the renewed hearing in the High Court.

The disconsolate victim said in a statement, “This (the bail) gives a whole new meaning to ‘Incredible India’. He is a convicted rapist and he is running a guesthouse. No woman is safe there.”

Earlier in the year, a young British girl, Scarlet Keeling, 15, was raped and murdered in Goa in February. Coming closely on the heels of  that incident, India (‘Hindustan’ in Urdu and Hindi vacabulary) is now being dubbed as ‘Rapistan’ by British Media in London blaming the Indian government for its apparent inability to protect foreign women from sexual assaults.

Citing  National  Crime  Bureau report for 2006, The Times, London, pointed out that rape was the fastest growing crime in  India,  with  19348  cases  of  rape  reported  in 2006 as against 15857  cases  in 2005  representing a rise of 22% in just one year.

The Victim has been in touch with the Public Prosecutor in Jodhpur and is now lunching campaign to get the bail revoked. She said, “If I have to get on a plane and go back (to India) I will, because I believe he will rape again and kill.”
