Claim: Abhijit Banerjee has defended the Nirbhaya rapists.
Fact-check: No, Abhijit Banerjee has not defended the Nirbhaya rapists - FACTLY
Verdict: abhijit's article on rapes were published in october-2012 whereas nirbhaya rape incident took place in december-2012. in his article, abhijit has explicitly said that 'none of this should be read as a defence of rape'. hence the claim made in the post is false.
