Irrespective of what you Think (not sure what is the
Source of your information though),  the fact remains
--

1)   GOA arrested the culprits  based on footage (as
admitted by GOA)

2) The severe criticizm to this came after the footage
was published.  This is evident from Assamnet where
people were doubting the incident when only print news
was published but came down heavily on it after the
footage was shared.

Per basic netiquete, when people write something in
ALL CAPS, it is considered as Shouting.
I thought you are writing in All Caps,  not me !

So what is the solution .... shove it under the carpet
just like our Netas were trying to do until Media
exposed it ?

By your logic a rape victim should not move to
court/police station ! You would probably advice this
if your relative is a victim of such incident.

>From what I see in this forum, people are more
concerned primarily because this exposure caused a
negative publicity to Assam and NOT because they are
concerned about the modesty of the woman. This is
apparent from many questioning why media exposed it
for Assam and never do it for other places .

May I know why you are shouting ...... or is it just
that the CAPS lock in your keyboard is stuck :)

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 ?"
