The incident is really disturbing. Over that there were news channels reporting the girl on a bad light. Thank you for a good write up on the incident getting all details. Safety of women is still a concern at such times. I pray the miscreants are traced at the earliest and rigorously punished. May the victim be blessed with enough strength to bear the pain she is undergoing physically and emotionally. My heart cries for her.
