Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal today said that no one involved in the Moga molestation case will be spared and perpetrators of the crime would get "severest" of punishment as per the law of the land.
The Food Processing minister also expressed deep pain and anguish over the unfortunate incident in which a teenage girl was allegedly molested and pushed to death from a moving Orbit bus in Moga on April 29.
In a statement issued here, she said such type of incidents were totally "unwarranted and unjustified".
The minister said that she was deeply peeved over the incident.
She said that the day when this incident took place, she had moved early to the Parliament house due to the ongoing session.
Badal said that she was completely "ignorant" about the involvement of Orbit bus in the matter when mediapersons put a series of questions related to the incident that day before her.
She said that she was fully aware that their family owned a transport business in the name of Orbit since 1947 and there was hardly anything in concealing it.
