Former Chief Justice J.S. Verma will head a three-member Commission of Inquiry that will suggest ways for improving safety and security of women, besides looking into the gang-rape incident.

Justice Lalita Seth and former Solicitor General Gopal Subramaniam will be its two other members.

“The Commission will suggest ways to make stricter rape laws. It will submit its report within 30 days,” Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said.

The Delhi Police have roped in senior High Court lawyer Dyan Krishnan as Special Prosecutor to ensure speedy trial.
