Bhubaneswar: After model and actor Milind Soman advocated public killing of rapists following the Hathras case, some women took to Twitter to remind him that crimes continue to happen despite death penalties while other users commented there’s no place for capital punishment in a civilized society.
People are demanding justice for the 19-year-old Dalit girl, who was cremated in the dead of night, against the family’s wish.
Amid the countrywide cry for justice, the debate over capital punishment for heinous crimes like rape has resurfaced.
Nirbhaya convicts were hanged, so were the accused in Telangana techie’s rape case. But such crimes against women haven’t stopped.
Here’s Milind Soman’s tweet and the reactions:

Pliss saat aap, deer.
We're not barbarians. Frontier justice has no place in a civilized society. https://t.co/4OtbdIqbI7

Stick to talking about running. Or even better, don’t talk and just run. https://t.co/niOAHt8TUo

Men would literally rather advocate murder than advocate feminism.
Because advocating murder is just a few strokes on a keyboard that they know has no personal consequences, whereas the other thing involves letting go of their own power. https://t.co/czT5D7JIVf

Women: Can we be safe?
Society: We will kill your rapists.
Women: but we don’t wanna get raped
Society: We will kill your rapists. https://t.co/5LQUYGwmhh
