I have spoken to Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding this. Those who have done wrong must be punished.

Questioning Andhra Pradesh CM, Pawan Kalyan said that "If a government volunteer rapes a girl to whom should I complaint. Who is the head of the volunteer system? Is CM Jagan responsible for it?
