2012-12-06 22

In a debate moderated by TIMES NOW's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami, panelists -- M N Singh, Fmr Police Commissioner, Mumbai; Shaina NC, Member BJP; Valarian Santos, Father of Keenan Santos; Dr Rajendra Kachroo, Father of late Aman Kachroo; Rahul Narvekar, Sr Advocate & Spokesperson, Shiv Sena; and Bachi Karkaria, Columnist & Author -- discuss the issue of a 20 yr old being killed for standing up to eve teasers and whether Mumbai has learnt no lessons from the Keenan-Reuben murder.

A year ago, the Keenan and Reuben murders in full public view sent shockwaves in Mumbai. Now, another braveheart -- 20 year old Santosh Vicchivora -- has met a similar fate. His crime: he stood up to eve teasers to defend his friend's honour. Santosh Vicchivora was stabbed to death in Dombivili area near Mumbai on Monday (Dec 3) for standing up to goons who misbehaved with his friend. An eye witness who attempted to intervene was also attacked.
