The safety and dignity of women are non-negotiable, he said, adding the perpetrators of this heinous crime must face the full might of the law, and the punishment must be exemplary.

‘Only then can we begin to restore faith in our system and ensure that such a tragedy never occurs again and we create a society where every woman feels safe and protected. We must ask ourselves ‘?if not now, when? I feel, the time for action is now,’ he said on X.

Singh also shared a copy of the letter.

‘I demand justice for the victim. I demand a safer society. I demand positive change. And I stand with the doctors in their fight for justice,’ he said in the letter.
