What about the altercation in the bar and/or the bouncers/people who are alleged to have thrown them out?The fact that this happened as early as 9.30 PM on the busy GS road with the free for all stripping and molesting of teen aged girl is a shameful indication of where our society and governance is heading! The case is complicated with a powerful Ministers wife owning the channel that is responsible for filming and airing the same. Many questions are being asked regarding how the mob permitted close filming and even helped in doing so!The ethics of news reporting for TRPs and police action/behaviour is also under the scanner. In the meantime real investigation and justice suffers. Social behaviour starts with parental guidance, morality of the citizens and civilised behaviour with respect for women and the laws of the land.When we are unable to ensure that the lawmakers and those who implement the law are morally upright people, society is doomed.
