Dear Mr Chakraborty HIDING THE FACE OF THE WOMAN IS NOT THE SOLUTION. WILL YOU AGREE TO SUCH A SOLUTION IF THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR OWN SISTER OR MOTHER OR ANY RELATIVE ? Regards Muktikam Phukan

Exposing such henious acts are not a Assam/India media phenomenon but is done by media all over world. What is the allegation against media --- 1) That they exposed a crime 2) That it gave Assam a bad publicity 3) That the lady (whose identity is not disclosed by the photograph) has been insulted Seeing all the posts in this forum, I suspect it is number 2 above. But then, had media not exposed it, would there been such swift action from GOA. The GOA was earlier trying to cover it up as a minor incident. The Assam Police already mentiond that they have identified the culprits from the media footage. If someone can prove that what media showed is false/fabricated, I am all with him in blaming media but this does not seem to be the case here. Yes, it gave a negative publicity to Assam but that was NOT because of Media's fault .... it was because of our Government's fault. The incident could have been controlled much earlier had the police force been active. To dilute the situation, there are already comments by some that the Adivasi's were inebriated, or that why they should demand such things in Assam. All set aside, there cannot be any justification to such barbaric act .. period. BTW, does someone know what happened to Barnali rape case ..... a child who was raped and murdered by some Network travel employees? >>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 ?" ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
