“They were also harassing the victim through mobile phone calls and were forcing her to fall in love with them” – Report

Forcing her to fall in love with them? How can you force someone to fall in love? This is what happens when you make hundreds of garbage movies with silly actors and ‘love stories’. Our youth are dumb and clueless. New technology in the hands of these guys reminds me an old saying – “mangana kaiyalli maanikya”.

I hope that police catch these three geniuses and “force some love” at local police station!! LOL

And, at 28, 29 and 30, how come they are free to trouble girls in this manner ? Their parents don’t find them old enough to be married ?
