When no action was taken against the accused by the police, they posted the video of the crime on social media. Sony stated, “We came to know that they will bring the matter with the help of one of their relatives employed at the coastal police station nearby. We felt we wouldn’t get justice and we took to Facebook so that everyone would know what happened to our Bruno.”
A police officer stated that a case has been registered under the relevant sections. “However, we have not taken the accused into custody yet as it turns out the offenders who are seen in the video… are all under the age of 18,” he added.
