Francis Augustine wrote: This is not India; obey the law of the country or you will be punished.
Alan J Maurice wrote: Ten years sounds harsh.
Jaswinder Singh Boparai wrote: They did wrong and should be punished for it. But 10 years? Brawls happen almost every weekend in city nightclubs, do they get 10 years?
Syed Mohammed wrote: For everybody else, we are all just Indians here.
Raita phailaana hai to wapas India jaao aur waha karo jo karna hai. If you want to protest, get police permission beforehand.
