A video circulating on social media shows a woman giving a strongly worded and sarcastic reaction to a statement attributed to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee regarding compensation for rape victims.
In the clip, the woman questions the logic of offering monetary compensation for such a serious crime, suggesting that justice, safety, and strict punishment matter far more than financial relief.
Her tone reflects public anger and frustration over how sexual assault cases are handled.
The video has triggered online discussion about whether compensation alone is enough in cases of violence against women, and whether governments should focus more on prevention, policing, and fast-track justice instead of post-crime payouts.
While compensation schemes exist in many states to support victims, critics argue that they should never be seen as a substitute for accountability and safety.
