    I was surprised to see how the govt took a quick a action to nab the culprits and punish them in a record time. While I read the news, I noticed the rapists were belonging to just one community, and how can the govt. let them go so easily. Pls note I am not supporting the rapists, they deserve harshest punishment. However, such quick action should be taken irrespective of which community the rapists belong. It shows if govt and police decide, they can bring justice to victims quickly.

    If there was involvement of any politician, our great Indian Judiciary would have taken 30 years to convict.

    Something needs to be done with regards to the illegals comming to India from Bangladesh. These people have zero respect to the law of the land and indulge in all kinds of illegal activities. Sates like WB and Assam are worst affected with unprecedented increase in illegal muslim population from Bangladesh resulting in demographic change.

    A great feat indeed and should serve as a deterrent to anyone thinking on the same criminal lines... Bangladeshis are kingpins of flesh trade and are very ruthless by nature... I have seen several instances during my tenure in Dubai... Hapless women are lured in the pretext of jobs and finally go through unimaginable hell in the land of dreams... There are many doing the same things in India... Awareness among our people is quite essential to prevent such crimes by illegals...
