Hope bail is not granted to the accused until the truth is been prevailed. As he has already destroyed the evidence, it is very much sure that he was the kingpin to master the murder. However, we need to wait and see what shall be the final out come. Having such criminal in any community is very dangerous, as they can outrage and harm any person or family.
Complimenting and thanking the Police is one thing, but presenting flowers and making it a media event was uncalled for. This is no tamasha, please don’t make it one!
