Actor Ridhima Pandit is shocked and disgusted by reading about the recent crimes against women, especially the Greater Noida dowry death case in which 28-year-old Nikki Bhati was set on fire, allegedly by her husband and in-laws because she could not get them another ₹36 lakh from her parents. Ridhima has called for strict punishment against the culprits.
Ridhima disturbed by recent crimes against women
On Monday, Ridhima took to Instagram Stories to reshare a post about three different crimes against women. Sharing the post on her Story, Ridhima wrote, “Three different cases Three cowards in the guise of men.”
“Bloody criminals! Dowry related crimes against women are fueled by greed that knows no bounds and cruelty that has no end,” she added.
The actor went on to call for harshest penalties for the accused.
“Look at these faces, they embody inhumanity. Our justice system must respond with the harshest penalties. Only then can we put an end to this brutality,” added the actor.
Earlier, actor Chinmayi Sripaada tweeted against the case, writing, “Everywhere else: Divorced daughter is better than a dead daughter Indian society: Daughter has to adjust to violence. Dead daughter is better so that we can all sit and cry for few days and move on as if nothing happened. She has to die anyway. This man will be out on bail and marry the next woman sooner or later.”
