I urge the Prime Minister to suspend the contract with the contractor involved, hold an investigation on top priority, and swiftly punish the guilty with the toughest possible punishment. We need a good whistle blower policy in the country.

Let this be the last such tragedy in India.

I would also like the Prime Minister to speak to the innocent victim's family to convey the nation's deep sorrow, and provide all help to them.

On our ((IIT alumni) part, I suggest that we start a fund for Dubey's family. We should also resolve to fight corruption with urgency."
