@virendersehwag Rape is a serious crime that shouldn't be brushed under the carpet. It's rampant in India and needs to be addressed. — SIDAARRTH SHINDE (@sidaarrthshinde) September 7, 2016

@virendersehwag reported no. rapes are far lesser than actual no. of rapes. The victim fears societal ostracism most in India, I presume — Nidhi D. Bruce (@TypeWriterMom) September 7, 2016
