Would I sound biased if I said did this boy really do it? We do not condone rape, neither do we condone jungle justice.

But the question is, was this really based on his attempted rape accusation or should we call it racism as we all know the level of racism in that part of the country.
I suggest our government should take up the matter and go deep into the root, rather than overlooking this which could definitely repeat itself again.
R. I. P countryman!
