Stating that whatever happened with Shanbaug was painful, Chouhan described her as "the symbol of respect". He said the mentality of a patriarchal society needed to be changed. "How long will the women continue to suffer exploitation?"
He said the law needed to be re-evaluated and amended so that no woman had to face this fate again.
