In an immediate response to the ex-CM's allegations, Home Minister Mishra took to Twitter and wrote, "When will you form an inquiry committee on the Datia case where the sons of the Congress District President killed a minor? The Neemuch Rewa incident is proof of such a perverted mentality. I condemn it."
