Newskarnataka-Mangalore

Mangalore :Rationalist Narendra Nayak and Advocate Asha Nayak condemned the communalisation and politicisation of the Deralakatte forced sex case and said that the incident was a crime and it should not be communalised by the so-called guardians of the society who were trying to gain electoral gain out of it.

The couple who first took up the issue of the kidnap and sexual expliotation of two medical students in Deralakatte recounted their experience at a press conference at their residence in the city.
 
The crime was done by an organised anti-social gang and there should not be any political exploitation of the crime. Such attempts are being made by people who were nowhere in the picture when the events happened, which is extremely condemnable and should not be allowed, he said.

Mrs Asha Nayak said the male victim also faced physical and mental trauma,reacting strongly against the allegation that the male victim in the case was also involved with the accused.One cannot accuse the male victim merely because he was from the same community as the accused.

We should not even blame the police because they had swung into action when they were informed about the issue, and were successful in nabbing the culprits on the same day.

We are deeply pained by the attempts to communalise the entire crime and create rifts between communities they said.
