>>Media always exposes such incidents be it Assam or Abu Ghraib. I thought it is duty of Media.
TIMESNOW has not shown any footage of the stripped woman but reported the news with heavy condemnation. In fact Arnab Goswami has raised a very pertinent question - "HAS ANYONE TAKEN THE PERMISSION OF THE LADY BEFORE SHOWING HER NAKED PHOTOS ? ARE WE NOT ADDING FURTHER INSULT TO THE ALREADY INSULTED POOR WOMAN ?" Krishnendu Chakraborty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> But do these names sound Assamese? Does it matter anyway ? Criminals do not have language/religion/caste And BTW, some members seem to be outraged at Media (some blaming Indian Media) ..... 1) It was CNN (not Indian Media) which published the footage. 2) The footage blurred the face of the woman to hide identity 3) Media always exposes such incidents be it Assam or Abu Ghraib. I thought it is duty of Media. >>Truly Shame on all of us . >> Police said three men were picked up from their houses early Monday.
