President's son Abhijit Mukherjee calls gangrape protesting women 'dented and painted'

She also said her father would disagree with Abhijit's view.

In a tight spot, Abhijit apologised and withdrew the "dented-painted" comment.

"I withdraw the particular sentence 'dented and painted' women. I have no intention to insult any woman," he said.

There was large-scale outrage in the capital as protestors, mainly students, gathered in large numbers to express their agony over the rape of a paramedical student Dec 16.

Some of the protestors even took to violence and there were clashes between them and the policemen.
