Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar on Friday condemned the gang-rape of a 22-year-old female photojournalist in Mumbai, saying the strict action should be taken against those who had committed the act.
"It's unfortunate and strict action should be taken. Parliament passed a stringent law after Delhi gangrape incident and I hope it will be put into effect," Kumar told media here.
"Extremely unfortunate, the more we condemn it, the less it is," she added.
A 22-year-old photojournalist, interning for a lifestyle magazine, was allegedly raped by at least three among a group of five men at an abandoned mill close to the railway tracks in the Mahalaxmi area of Mumbai last night.
The incident reportedly took place at around 8 p.m. when the girl and her male colleague were at Shakti Mills, which is located very close to the railway tracks in the Mahalaxmi area, shooting for a magazine assignment.
