Persons committing crimes, including sexual assault, against women, should consider it as their last day on earth, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu warned today. “There is no place for such criminals. Whoever commits such crimes…it should be the last day of his life,” he said.

“They should be hanged. We will deal with them sternly and book them under Nirbhaya Act and POCSO Act. It should serve as a strong warning to others,” he said. Talking to reporters after visiting the nine-year-old sexual assault victim at the Government General Hospital here, Naidu welcomed the death penalty to child rapists under the new law.

“We have to deal with such criminals firmly. Women should spit on their faces if they are found on streets. At the same time, we should also create awareness among people against such crimes,” he added. The chief minister announced that Rs 5 lakh would be deposited in the girl’s name for her future.
