The protest made the government bring a law of death sentence in case of child rapes. Well, even after the law was announced, AP saw a child rape again and this led to a striking decision taken by a lawyers association of the state.

That decision received a positive response on the web with people suggesting the similar oaths to be taken all over the country. However, soon came the drawback into the light.
