I am working at a government-aided college here and the woman professor who was assaulted the day before yesterday is my good friend and we had just parted from the venue of the literary festival. If the police do not immediately catch the culprits, we will be forced to sit at home during evening hours and early morning hours. The capital city seems to be becoming out of bounds for women."Police, however, said that they were on the track and that the culprits would be soon arrested. A senior police officer told that the police were acting fast and that the culprits would be soon booked.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
