The news of a cancer patient being raped comes as a big shock. Political parties lost no time in coming out in protest against the alleged incident.

All major parties, including the Shiv Sena,  Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and Republican Party of India (RPI), demanded immediate justice to the victim.  

Home Minister Home Minister R R Patil has ordered an enquiry into the incident and asked Deputy  Police Commissioner Dattatray Karale to submit the report in two days.

The Sena, on its part, has threatened to “handle the issue in its own style” if the culprits are not brought to book in 4 weeks.
