This crime will not stop unless there is capital punishment. Rapists should be hanged or given life imprisonment to give lesson to others.

What about these two maharathis. One thing appreciated for providing their photographs. A big salute to our brave Police dept. Before sending behind bar a public procession is must. At least 25yrs keep them behind bar.For such incidents no one sena bd members will come front.
