Bollywood's
talented
actor-filmmaker
Farhan
Akhtar
talks
about
a
solution
that
may
help
reduce
the
number
of
rape
cases
in
India.
After
the
recent
incident
of
the
rape
of
a
photo
journalist,
many
celebs
have
been
speaking
about
the
Unsafe
Mumbai.
Earlier
this
year,
Farhan
Akhtar
launched
campaign
called
Men
Against
Rape
and
Discrimination
(MARD)
and
he
now
believes
that
the
concept
of
fast-track
courts
must
live
up
to
its
name.
The
courts
seem
to
be
taking
their
own
sweet
time
and
this
is
of
no
help,
thereby
Farhan
thinks
that
granting
speedy
justice
to
victims
of
rape
is
the
basic
task
of
the
fast-track
courts.
The
actor
feels
this
change
will
make
a
huge
difference
in
the
crime
against
women.
"I
feel
that
the
fact
that
cases
can
go
on
for
so
long,
emboldens
people.
I
feel
the
concept
of
fast-track
courts,
which
really
hasn't
come
into
effect
the
way
we
hoped
it
would.
If
that
can
happen,
it
will
probably
make
a
serious
difference," said
Farhan
Akhtar.
The
actor
made
these
statements
in
reaction
to
the
recent
rape
case
in
Mumbai.
"Right
now
the
rate
of
conviction
is
very
low
and
that
is
because
of
the
process
of
judiciary
moving
really
slow," the
39-year-old
said.
"I
think
a
certain
degree
of
fear
factor
in
the
mind
of
somebody
who
is
a
potential
offender
is
important.
There
has
to
be
respect
for
law,
there
also
has
to
be
fear
that
'I
will
get
caught',"
Farhan
added.
