Rails 'link_to' giving an incorrect path to delete a Nested Resource

I made a simple blog application in rails and when I tried giving a link to delete a Comment rails gave me incorrect link

<a data-method="delete" href="/forums/27/comment.7" rel="nofollow">Delete</a>

This gave me an error 

No route matches [DELETE] "/forums/27/comment.7"

but when I changed it to 

<a data-method="delete" href="/forums/27/**comments/7**" rel="nofollow">Delete</a>

by chrome's Inspect it deleted my comment. So how to generate a correct Link ?

Controller 

def destroy
  @comment.destroy
  redirect_to :back
end

private

  def find_forum 
    @forum = Forum.find(params[:forum_id])
  end

  def set_comment
    @comment = Comment.find(params[:id])
  end

show.html.haml

- @forum.comments.each do |c|
  = c.user.firstname
  = c.comment
  - if user_signed_in?
    - if c.user == current_user
      = link_to "Delete", [@forum, c], method: :delete

You need to use the forum_comment_path helper:

= link_to "Delete", forum_comment_path(@forum, c), method: :delete
