Remarking that the victim deserves justice, Twitter users asked girls to take their safety into their own hands. Many compared Indian laws on safety to those in foreign countries.

A few users lambasted politicians for not doing enough to tackle violence against women in India. But politicians of all parties have condemned the incident. Woman Lawmakers have also raised the issue in Parliament.
We Need Strict Law...✍️🎯

Some people used the opportunity to demand the death penalty for the juvenile who was tried as a minor in the Nirbhaya rape case in New Delhi in 2012. He was released in 2016 after serving his sentence.
BJP Had Got The Law Passed That One Who is Released From Jail Gets 10K And a Sewing Machine @PMOIndia @ArvindKejriwal

Twitter users also praised local lawmaker Alka Lamba for castigating a news anchor for naming the Hyderabad rape victim during a live TV debate.
“You cannot use the name of a rape victim. Do you have an agenda oi mind? People all over social media are naming her; we should at least try to avoid using her name. It’s good that people are watching you live and you are being unmasked publicly,” Lamba can be hearing saying in the video.
Just look at Anchor's face.
