Prime Minister Narendra Modi also said the incident had "shamed India" and that "no guilty will be spared".

And you can believe him because of the great job he did with the Gujarat riots in 2002.

I don't see how this shames India anymore than it is already. This type of story is way too common out of India, and I won't accept the population size as the reason. Sadly it's one of the countries I refuse to visit and know that the culture won't change in my lifetime

Modi, imo, has no problem with angry religiously motivated mobs, so long as it's the Hindutva people committing the violence. He's just making the noises the expected noises for the sake of propriety - don't expect anything to change markedly.
