Pooja Bedi And I don’t care whether the rapist turns out to be a minor… he deserves to DIE. keep such animals off our streets& away from our children
5 yr old raped girls throat was slit,Private parts mutilated,200 ml bottle& candles shoved into private parts. I want to KILL that barbarian. India’s rape capital has a woman CM. She should rule with an iron fist, an iron rod, whip and noose. Until then nothing has changed or will.
Anupam Kher: Sometimes, The evils of authorities are directly proportional to the tolerance and indifference of the people.
Raj Kundra: What happened to the public watching this woman being slapped in public by a civil SERVANT. Stand up for your human rights #angry #disgusted
Riteish Deshmukh: Read about the brutality that a 5yr old was subjected to. I am shocked beyond words. What kind of a society r we becoming?
Shilpa Shetty: Disgusted with the Delhi cop who slapped that girl who protested! What is our country coming to. When will this apathy end!Time to wake up. Strict punitive action MUST be taken against these offenders at the earliest. Heartbreaking!
Pooja Bhatt: Rapists & sex offenders must be named & shamed. If victims of rape live with the trauma all their lives,should their tormentors be spared?
