Actors John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Tusshar Kapoor described the incident as "shameful" and "unacceptable".
"I think there is nobody in this country who doesn't condemn this and I think its absolutely shameful and unacceptable," said Anil, who was in the capital alongwith the star cast of the crime drama.
The Bollywood actor, who plays a police officer in 'Shootout at Wadala' added, "The police has to be accountable and the state, who is responsible for safety and security has to be accountable. The accused should be given maximum punishment and the police should be pulled up."
"I flew to Delhi in the morning and I read three things in the newspaper- first about the five-year-old girl case then next page had news of rape of a four-year-old girl in Madhya Pradesh and another about rape of a mentally challenged woman in Pune. So, I think its shameful," said John.
"Our country is represented in international space only by such incidents. It is a case where we as a country should hang our heads down in shame. Change can only happen if you give capital punishment and give out a strong message out there," said John, who plays a gangster in the film.
