Whenever a person decides to testify against a misdeed in India, the only thing that stops him or her is safety measures and enough protection that will not put his life at stake. The reason India is bringing laws like the Good Samaritan law is to make sure that more and more people come forward to help victims.

For example, in the case of theyoungest victim in 26/11 Mumbai Terror attacks, a 10-year-old Devika Rotawan who had identified the main convict Ajmal Kasab has been living a tough life since the last decade. Since she decided to testify against him, she was taunted, mocked and deprived of opportunities.

In the case of model Jessica Lal who was shot at a party, witnesses had been influenced and turned hostile.
