Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson Anand Dubey said, "...The Pune incident has shaken the entire Maharashtra...We are living in modern times but such barbarism is happening in these times.

It is possible that there is a gang behind this...Locals say that buses remain parked there and incident happen on those buses everyday. This incident has come to light, several others might not have. Govt must dismantle this entire gang. We demand Devendra Fadnavis to hang the guilty and also have an investigation...Law & order of entire Maharashtra is collapsing..." Congress National Spokesperson Atul Londhe Patil saidd, "Such incidents, happening again and again, reveal the failure of government. A fake encounter was done in Badlapur case, High Court also made an observation...It is a failure of the government that it is unable to provide security to women..."
