- Condemning the brutal rape of the five-year-old girl in the city, the cast of upcoming film Shootout at Wadala wants maximum punishment for the accused in the case. Actors John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Tusshar Kapoor described the incident as "shameful" and "unacceptable".
- "I think there is nobody in this country who doesn't condemn this and I think its absolutely shameful and unacceptable," said Anil, who was in the capital alongwith the star cast of the crime drama.
- The Bollywood actor, who plays a police officer in Shootout at Wadala added, "The police has to be accountable and the state, who is responsible for safety and security has to be accountable. The accused should be given maximum punishment and the police should be pulled up."
