Hans revealed that PM Modi himself got emotional on learning about the horrific incident. He further stated that PM Modi has always looked forward for the betterment of India's daughters through his 'Beti Bachao' mission.

He further stated that the crime was so heinous that no parent would be able to see the complete video of the act. He assured the victim's family that justice will be served to them and the accused will face the highest punishment.

"I have spoken with the Police. You will not be able to watch the complete video (of the crime) if you are a parent, you will not be able to sleep," said BJP MP Hans Raj Hans.

He also expressed anger at why the bystanders did not try to apprehend the accused when the crime was committed in front of their eyes. Speaking on the party's criticising Modi government over the crime, the BJP MP said, "Shame on any party that is doing politics after such a tragedy. There were so many people there, they should have caught him then and there. It pained me to see that video."
