Vir Sanghvi vs. The Basterd – Death Penalty for Rape.

Image
So we’re clear I’m the basterd. Now, let’s get on with it. I say this with sheer sadness not sadism; the brilliant, flamboyant & versatile Vir Sanghvi has missed the bus by falling in love with capital punishment under the guise of ‘desperate situations call for desperate measures.’ Said that I can’t deny the fact that we’re desperate.
