Recently, actor and activist Rahul Bose voiced his views in favour of giving the Delhi gang-rape accused a chance to reform. "We have to ask ourselves of the five or six of the rapists of the December 16, is there anyone who wants to change, who wants to reform... Nobody is saying about commuting any sentence, the sentence stands as it is but while it stands, can we create a gender warrior among them?" commented the actor.

The irony of the situation though is that the prime rape accused in the case, Ram Singh, committed suicide in Tihar Jail today. He was found hanging in his cell early morning today.

The twitter populace on the other hand, reacted strongly in stark criticism against the above statement made by Rahul Bose. Here are some of reactions on twitter...

@farzi_enggineer: "Rahul Bose just received the invitation from Digvijay Singh and Sushil Kumar Shinde to join their group on fb "Foot in the Mouth"
