Union Law Minister Salman Khurshid on Saturday termed the molestation of a teenaged girl in Guwahati as "despicable and disgusting".
"It was a despicable and disgusting act," Khurshid said on the sidelines of a conference on e-court in New Delhi. He praised the 17-year-old girl, who "bravely fought off her attackers."
However, he refused to answer a question whether there was a need for making the law regarding molestation stringent.
The police had said that
some girls and boys, apparently known to each other, had entered a bar in Guwahati on Monday night, where they subsequently had a brawl and were forced outside by the establishment's security.
