Asha Devi on hanging rapists
While speaking about delay tactics used by rapists, Asha Devi said, “I think pattern in which y are delaying ir sentence, should be used against m. y should be hanged one by one. If this happens, only n will se convicts realise that y cant play games with courts and law. y are misusing law. criminals misbehave with incent girls and ir lawyers misbehave with law. y are repeating same dismissed petitions again and again. y are wasting court's time. Any or case could have been heard instead of this, but y are simply wasting court’s time. I stand by fact that y should be hanged one by one.”

Similarly, Nirbhaya’s far said that convicts are misusing law. He said, “y have found a loophole which y are continuously using to delay ir death sentence. y are misusing law. However, I say that case which has been heard in lower court, high court and Supreme Court three times each has thing left. y are still using tactics to delay things somehow. I think Supreme Court should use ir special powers and put an end to this.”
