\u201cThis is a very unfortunate event that has taken place. Nobody expected this kind of thing to happen because India is such a hospitable country. This should not have happened with any of the guests of the country. So, we are extremely sorry for this incident, which is an unfortunate one.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Former India cricketer Reema Malhotra also spoke to IANS and shared her thoughts on the matter, saying: \"This is unacceptable and should not happen again, because in India, our simple motto is Athithi Devo Bhava (Guest is God). That should be followed, and I hope that the culprit gets harsh punishment so that no other stupid person dares to repeat this in life. It should set an example for everyone who have similar sick mentality that women should be respected. I felt really bad and sad for what happened, but the bottom line is one has to make sure that it won\u2019t happen again.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
