Following the incident, Azam Khan, who is known for his controversial statements came out with a advice for girls and reportedly said that girls should be kept at home to avoid such incidents. His fresh comments have drawn ire from across the nation.
“Molestation, misbehaving with the women, loot, dacoity, murder have become the order of the day. I had urged voters to keep in mind the perfect rule of the SP and the future of law and order. I had said if the BJP was given a chance, law and order will worsen,” he added.
