Rattled by the massive protest at Raisina Hill and a tight rap by Congress president Sonia Gandhi over the gang rape incident, the home ministry and the Delhi Police swung into action on Saturday evening, announcing a slew of measures to make the Capital a safer place for women.
Home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde announced the setting up a commission of inquiry to review the response of the security agencies after the shocking gang rape was reported.
The minister assured the people that the government will take steps to amend the Criminal Procedure Code to enhance punishment in the "rarest of rare rape cases", stopping short of stating if it meant death penalty for rapists.
He also announced the appointment of a judicial commission to review women's security. The measures, which should have been announced much earlier, came after a miffed Congress top brass pulled up the authorities for "poor" handling of anti-rape protesters by the Delhi Police on Saturday.
The party's concern was articulated by none other than Sonia, who spoke to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the evening, demanding swift action in the case.
