Days after news of the Pune techie's murder surfaced, outrage among the masses, especially women, continues. If there's some aspect that's remotely heartening in the case, it's the fact that the killer's mot­her has disowned him and urged the cops to ensure that he is punished.

The accused, a security guard at Infosys, allegedly killed the 25-year-old techie because she had rebuked him for staring at her. He strangulated her on a Sunday, when she came in to work alone to complete a pending project.
