However, in the apology posted on Facebook, Indrans said he was not being dismissive of the WCC. "I only said that I find it difficult to believe that my colleague would commit such a crime." He said he considers the survivor as his own daughter and he stands with her during this crisis.
Translated excerpts of Indrans' Facebook post: “I saw some of the opinions of a few of my friends about regarding the interview I gave to a publication the other day. I did not try to hurt or point fingers at anyone deliberately. I wasn’t being dismissive about WCC either. I saw a few trying to misconstrue my words or rather say things I haven’t said in that interview. I just meant that I find it hard to believe that one of my colleagues will commit such a crime. I consider her as my daughter. And I am with her in her pain. It hurts me to see anyone in pain. I have come from a background that makes me empathise with someone’s pain and misery. I am aware of where I stand. If my comments hurt anyone, I apologise."
