On the question of framing tougher anti-rape law, Shinde said, the Justice J. S. Verma committee was already looking into it, and it has been given a timeline of 30 days. "Nobody should doubt our sincerity on that score", he added.
Shinde said: "Never before did the Home Minister of India accompany the Delhi Chief Minister to go to the Chief Justice of India for setting up of fast-track courts. I went with Sheilaji to the Chief Justice of India, not only for this case, but for disposal of all pending rape cases through fast-track courts".
The Home Minister said, every police station in Delhi shall have two female sub-inspectors and 10 women constables.
"For this, my ministry has sanctioned creation of 2,506 posts and the proposal has been sent to the Finance Ministry. I promise this will happen soon."
Asked why the cremation of the Delhi gangrape victim was done in a hush-hush manner, Shinde said, the cremation issue was left to the wishes of her parents and relatives. "Our people were only assisting. I had given instructions to police not to do anything against the wishes of her family".
