However, Netizens expressed their dismay as handing over Rs 10 lakhs compensation was made a photo-op session. X user The Skin Doctor said, “As if the international shame brought about by the gangrape of a Spanish woman wasn’t enough, the Jharkhand govt decided to go a step further, offering a 10 lakh rupee compensation to the woman’s husband with a photo-op. Insensitive and embarrassing!”

X user Saket71 said compensation could have been given without camera and with a press release. He said, “This protocol should be changed if there is a protocol. They aren’t handing out best vlogging award. Could’ve been done without Camera and with a press release.”
