"Action will be taken at the earliest": Shiv Sena MLC Neelam Gorhe on Pune rape case

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 4 (ANI): Shiv Sena MLC Neelam Gorhe on Friday condemned the Pune rape case, calling it a "disgusting act" and said that action will be taken at the earliest in the matter.
Addressing reporters, the Shiv Sena MLC said, "...This is a disgusting act. Action should be taken at the earliest...As far as security is concerned, it is essential to have security guards in big residential societies so that those who come for such deliveries are accompanied to see where they are going and when they are coming back. I have also submitted a memorandum for this. A proper SOP should be put in place so that those who come in like this are monitored and a photo of their ID is taken. Action will be taken at the earliest..."
Earlier today, Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction) leader Rohit Pawar expressed concern over the prevailing law and order situation in Maharashtra in the aftermath of Pune rape case. The NCP-SCP leader also took aim at the police officials for failing to nab the accused.
"... Look at the guy's guts, he took a selfie with the girl's phone with a message that 'I'll be back'. The police have his photo, yet they are not able to nab him..." Pawar told ANI.
He further urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is in Pune for a two-day State visit, to pay attention to the law and order of the State.
"I request the Home Minister, who is coming to Pune, to give attention to the law and order of the State," Pawar said.
