Once I read in newspaper that a female teacher stripped naked a 10 year old boy in class in front of male and female child .That female teacher should also stripped naked in front of whole city by the mob then it is true justice.If any feminist says that it is wrong, shameful crime to strip naked any female perpetrator and female criminal of child abuse.Then it is also shameful and wrong if it is done(stripping naked and nude parade) to any male perpetrator.It should also be noted that it is not necessary that any accused of rape is a criminal in reality.It is possible that the allegation of rape is false.If any mob insults ,parades naked any accused of rape,and it is found after that allegation of rape was false and it was used as weapon because of enmity of their families .Then how can the people in the mob repay the dignity of that accused person.It is serious criminal and sexual offence to insult and parade naked any person publicly only on the base of an allegation of rape.Any accused is only an accused until it is proved in the court that he/she is an criminal.And if it is proved then there is court to punish the criminal.
