Rather than killing innocent and those who do hard work.. The GAU-RAKSHAHS should target such kind of CRIMINALs who deosnt recognise even a 6 year old child....
EVIL is cheddis agenda... which will effect the society in the near Future if we did not voice out or protest against increasing criminals in our society...
Stop arresting innocent and start arresting the Real criminals who are out of trained in NAGPUR....

This may be a fake news! For AUTHENTIC & CREDIBLE news, please check Notorious Coastal Kannada daily, sure this man had a challenge with his wife to molest the child, he did not have any bad intention as he is Deshpremi and proud son of Gomatha, and member of homo brigade. Before reaching the jail he might have secured bail.

He spoke to reporters after a meeting with Prasad on Tuesday.
