City police should catch all the identified culprits and put behind the bar," Mr Rijiju said in a series of tweets. He said, "We can't allow the shameful act of mass molestation go unpunished. Bengaluru is a vibrant city and women safety is must in a civilised society." "I condemn the shameful harassment of women. It's not just an incident or law and order issue.
