Chiru, Mahesh seek stringent action

Megastar Chiranjeevi released a video message on Saturday, urging the government to hang the culprits. Chiru reacted strongly to Priyanka's rape and murder case.

Megastar is seen emotional, raising the question of girls' safety in the country and how it is diminishing with every passing day.

As a father of two daughters, a husband and a brother, Chiru took the responsibility in questioning the law of the country. He also added the last few cases in this year have left him in extreme shock and grief.

"It is highly laudable that all the four accused have been taken into custody in a short time. But it's also important to give them exemplary punishment.

Hanging them on the street is the right way to instill fear among those who have such mindsets," Chiru said. Ending the video, Chiranjeevi urged women to not to forget to call 100 or She teams whenever they are in distress situations.

In his condemnation, superstar Mahesh Babu expressed his anguish in a couple of tweets on Sunday morning. Mahesh said that day after day nothing is changing and that we are failing as a society.

He went on to appeal to the state and central governments to implement stricter laws like capital punishment for heinous crimes like these. "My heartfelt condolences to the families of the girls.

Your pain is irreversible! Let's come together to give justice to all the women and young girls of our country… Let's make India safe!!," Mahesh said on a concluding note.
