"PM should fast track these cases and punish the guilty if he is serious about providing 'justice for our daughters'," he said.

Modi last week referred to the rape and killing of a minor in Jammu and Kashmir and the rape of a teenager in Uttar Pradesh, saying justice will be done to the victims and no culprit will be allowed to escape. IANS
