State Law Minister P Rajeev stated that the survivor didn't get complete justice through the present verdict. As per PTI, he said, "Though those who were directly involved in the crime were found guilty by the court, it was not the verdict everyone expected. The state government has always stood strongly with the survivor, and that will be continued."
