"I have started a campaign on the social media called 'Shame the Rapists Campaign' and it exposes six rapists who have uploaded their videos on WhatsApp. This campaign is to identify the rapists and to hand them over to the authorities. This morning I have launched it on NDTV, with the support of NDTV and in 15 minutes time my vehicle has been vandalised. I request everybody to go to my Facebook page to see this video and identify the rapist and please inform us if you see these rapists. We have to take action against these people, we have to punish them," said Krishnan.

"Some people in concealed manner hit the glass with some blunt object, may be stone or may be some blunt object. The allegations of gang-rape leveled by the lady on the people in the video uploaded on the social media to be responsible for the crime it may be true. But as per our investigation, prima facie there is 99 per cent chance that they were not involved," said Satyanarayan.
