In the interview, Kumar said , "A decent girl won't roam around at nine o'clock at night. A girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy. When being raped, she shouldn't fight back. She should just be silent and allow the rape. Then they'd have dropped her off after 'doing her'. The death penalty will make things even more dangerous for girls. Now when they rape, they won't leave the girl like we did. They will kill her."
