ABSTRACT

The country was disturbed when Sunitha Krishnan, a campaigner and cofounder of Prajwala 1 , purposefully made public a rape video involving six unidentified men sexually torturing a girl. While doing so, she had an intention to track the identity of the perpetrators of the crime. ‘I have received more than eighty Indian videos of unreported rape incidence through Shame the Rapist online campaign’, later she claimed in Point Blank, an interview programme on Asianet News Channel on 23 February 2015 at 10 p.m. She claimed online campaign could help track the identity of perpetrators of rape culture and could bring justice to victims. Consequently, one of the six criminals has been identified after the release of the video.
