How come we always running into such issues but yet unable to provide justice. Earlier it was women of our country and this time international guests. I repeat international guests. Because they people come spend money in this country we should have treated them like a guest.

This is extremely shameful and will ruin India’s image and goodwill. Strictest and speedy action required against the perpetrators to set an example so that incidents like these don’t happen in future @JharkhandPolice pic.twitter.com/mVWO3C2xWp
