New Delhi: Telangana Home Minister Mohammed Mahmood Ali Wednesday said the law will take its own course and the guilty in the Jubilee Hills gang rape case will not be spared. He also said that all are equal before police irrespective of their political affiliations.
"For police, there are no friends, relatives or enemies. If someone has done wrong, then action will be taken against that person. All are equal before police irrespective of their political affiliations," said the home minister, as quoted by news agency ANI.
"People are using mobile phones & children are getting spoiled. It’s the responsibility of the parents. I would like to appeal to all the parents to take care of their children and if the children roam freely then it will be difficult to stop them," he added.
