When I read the following news, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

So let me get this straight: the sanctity of the place would have got affected if a cop as much as had crossed its threshold but it didn't get affected when a woman was molested within its 4 walls?

True, the young men responsible for this act didn't belong to the ashram but that doesn't absolve the ashram authorities of their responsibility. They would have done better to preserve the "sanctity of the place" by making sure the culprits didn't escape and handing them over to the police as soon as possible.

It wouldn't do any harm to beef up on the security front a bit as well so that such undesirable elements don't enter the Ashram's premises to violate the "sanctity of the place"!
