The Madhya Pradesh CM said, "He (Pravesh) has tarnished humanity and committed an inhumane act. It is a crime for which even the strictest punishment is not enough, but I have given instructions to give the accused the strictest punishment...it should be a moral lesson to everyone. We won't spare him."
