Speaking at the launch Annup Sonii said, “It is only human to feel emotions of jealousy, hate and greed, people who commit these crimes are not hardcore criminals, they are people like us, who did not know where to draw the line, when to stop. Everybody goes through certain amount of problems in their life but committing crime isn't a solution to them. Crime never pays ”

Speaking about the book, Oswald Pereira said, “The book is not meant to condemn the criminals. One is not born a criminal, but is driven by certain circumstances in spur of the moment. Victims are not only the people who have been affected, but also the families of the criminals. They are branded as criminals for life for no fault of theirs."

Commenting on the understanding of crime in India, John Abraham said, “At micro level, It is important for us to stand up against the pettiest of crimes. Since the human nature is essentially of being self-centred, we need to be sensitised towards the crimes repeatedly. It is a conscientious process because as human beings we do not really acknowledge or react to crimes until we have experienced it ourselves ”
