The Women
and Child development (WCD) Ministry will seek a change in the Code of Criminal
Procedure (CrPC) to allow filing of complaints of child sexual abuse many years
after the crime. The secretary of WCD, R.K. Shrivastava, said at a press meet that
they are in the process of writing to the ministry of home affairs (MHA) asking
them to amend Section 473 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). So, time
limitation will go away, and allow victims to report such crimes even years
later.
