New Delhi: An AAP minister has demanded a law for "public" killing of rapists saying they should be treated as "terrorists" while also advocating the need to give arms training to women. Delhi Culture Minister Kapil Mishra made the comments in his blog in the wake of the Bulandshahr gangrape incident, which he said "can happen to anyone, anytime".

In last one year, "450 minor girls" have been raped in the national capital, Mishra claimed. "I have been against the death penalty for a long time, but I want to say that rapists are terrorists and they should be treated like one... give arms and arms training to all girls and women.

Let them kill those who try to rape them, let them kill their rapists. Give exemplary punishment. Parliament should pass a special law following the Bulandshahr incident and rapists should be killed publicly," Mishra wrote.
