Former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud stresses that crimes against women cannot be prevented solely through laws. Highlighting the Pune bus rape case and recalling the 2012 Nirbhaya incident, he urges the need for proper implementation, investigation, and societal responsibility to ensure women's safety.

In the backdrop of the Pune bus rape case, former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud drew parallels with the 2012 Nirbhaya incident, emphasizing that legislation alone is insufficient to curb crimes against women.
