In the meantime, a video of the police station has been leaked of the accused apologising about what they did. They can be heard, with folded hands, saying, ‘Maaf kar dijiye, aaj ke baad aisi galti nahi karenge’, and they regret their behaviour. As the apology video has spread across social media, a large portion still demands strict penalties, emphasizing the necessity of a deterrence to such activities and increased security of schoolgirls in social areas.
