Comments
last week i heard one news regarding several mobiles found inside the jail?, in mangalore jail anything can happen.
this is the position of our police in india, they even cant save inmates in jail.
suicide in jail. funny!!!
would have given second chance to him.
i dont know what to comment on this but whatever happened we are happy in this case.
whatever happened should happen to everyone who rapes women.
may be he realized his mistake and punished himself.
shame on police department they cant even monitor jail inmates.
our constitution says: Is It Better That Ten Guilty Persons Go Free Than That One Innocent. this case must have some story of wrongfulness.
what will be the reason behind his suicide, may be he was wrongly inducted in this case.
