The 23-year-old has not surfaced after he and his friend were arrested by a police patrol team and let off on bail on Saturday.

It may be 2017, but the 'uska baap kaun hai, maloom hai kya' still dominates India.
'I live in a privileged city, I have a privileged life, I was in a car.' 'If it can happen here, then there is literally no hope for women in rural India or smaller cities.' 'If more women think we can help ourselves, we can survive, and men would be a lot more hesitant to try something like this.'
Congress accuses Centre of 'protecting' state BJP chief's son.
'I've answered all those people who are tweeting nonsense about Varnika Kundu and trying to shame her.' 'Shame her for what? For being a young girl at a party with friends? For enjoying herself?' 'I think it is ridiculous for somebody to say that she should not be out at night.' 'Why should a girl not step out at night?' 'What does that mean?' 'Does it mean that something happens to the boys at night and they change into monsters?' 'If so, then the problem lies with the boys, not with the girls.' 'Please keep your sons at home at night.'

'I don't believe in jumlebaazi.' 'Kahan hua hai sabka saath, sabka vikas?'
The defence submitted before the court that the case is based merely on apprehension of kidnapping, which has been built under pressure.
However, the faces of the persons occupying the vehicles or their registration numbers were not clearly visible.
'Modi and the BJP don't want Delhi to function.' 'The LG is like a puppet of the BJP.'
The party hopes that the multiple road projects, schools, canals, and water projects which have come up in the Meo-Muslim-dominated area will be able to sway the votes in its favour.
