“…However, there is still a thriving underground market for these drugs, and individuals who are caught using or possessing them can face serious legal consequences. [1][2][3] To address the growing problem of club drug use in India, it is important to increase public awareness about the risks associated with these drugs and to provide education and resources to young people about making safe and healthy choices. It is also important to increase law enforcement efforts to crack down on the illegal manufacture and distribution of these drugs.…”

“…These drugs are often slipped into a person's drink without their knowledge, causing them to become incapacitated and unable to resist sexual advances or defend themselves. (Harper, 2010) Sexual assault victims who suspect drugs were secretly administered to them frequently recount memories of drunkenness that do not match the amounts of alcohol consumed, memory gaps that cannot be explained, altered levels of consciousness, and unexplainable signs of physical trauma. A few of the most common date rape drugs will be described in this paper.…”

Globally, the number of crimes aided by drugs is rising. Both industrialized and developing nations are seeing an increase in the use of date rape medications. Any drug that can be used to facilitate the commission of a sexual assault is referred to as a date rape drug. Alcohol and other drugs, including gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, ketamine, and benzodiazepines, are frequently used in both sexual and nonsexual acts of violence. The most common types of date rape drugs include Rohypnol, GHB, and Ketamine. These drugs can cause dizziness, confusion, loss of consciousness, and memory loss, making it easier for perpetrators to commit a sexual assault without the victim's knowledge or consent. Before committing the crime, the offender gives the booze or mixes the narcotics with meals or other beverages. DFSA (Drug-facilitated Sexual Assault) cases in India pose several challenges, including the lack of awareness and understanding of the issue, the difficulty in detecting and proving the presence of date rape drugs, and the inadequate support and resources available to victims. However, several solutions can be implemented, such as increasing public awareness through education and campaigns, strengthening laws to address the issue of date rape drugs specifically, providing better training to law enforcement agencies, improving access to medical care for victims, and increasing support and resources for survivors of sexual assault. These measures can help address the challenges and provide justice to the victims of DFSA cases in India. Therefore, I will be reviewing and explaining the various date rape drug types that are widely used in India, their mode of action on the human body, resulting effects, and the increasing number of challenges faced by our Indian society due to the emerging number of DFSA cases.
