Mukesh Singh, one of the convict in the Delhi gang rape case had given a shocking statement which went viral on news. He had blamed the victim for the fatal sexual assault.

Describing the monstrous act as an ‘accident’, he said "When being raped, she shouldn`t fight back. She should just be silent and allow the rape. Then they`d have dropped her off after `doing her`, and only hit the boy."
