Bengaluru molestation incident: Aamir Khan calls for strengthening of laws



Specia Weekend News - In the wake of the Bengaluru mass molestation incident, Hindi film actor Aamir Khan on Tuesday called on the law and order mechanism to act swiftly so that fear is created in the minds of the people and they think twice before committing such crimes.

"The incident that took place in Bengaluru was very disappointing. We feel ashamed that such incidents take place in our country. I think it's the responsibility of everyone along with the administration to see that law and order prevails," said Aamir in Mumbai.


"The law and order mechanism and the judiciary and police should bring the culprit to the task at the earliest as it happens in other countries. For example, when such an incident takes place in America, the guilty are not only arrested but they are given punishments as well within two or three months. I think when such a change will take place, things will automatically change," he added.

The 51-year-old actor, who has been very vocal regarding social issues and women safety, asserted that in the present times, people who indulge in eve-teasing and such crime, believe that nothing is going to happen because of weak laws regarding the same.(Read More)
