Raigarh SP Santosh Singh appreciated the efforts of
the police team for taking quick action. He also instructed to take action in

provide speedy justice to the victim in rape cases. Fast track courts have been
constituted with the objective of providing speedy justice to the victims in
the cases of minors in the country. In such a situation, our accountability increases
so that the police proceedings in such cases do not slow down at any level and
in such cases the accused should be presented before the Court so that they
will get harshest possible punishment.
