Seems like a Sanghi Goon..!

Parents must encourage their children (especially girls) to speak up on anything and everything. Such wolves in the society continue to prey on the innocents as long as their victims do not speak up. Such wolves hiding in sheep's clothing should not be given anything less than a death penalty.

All over the world it is happening...every country faces this.

Hang him!!
