ALL MURDERERS ARE FROM SANGHPARIVAR. THERE IS NO DOUBT AT ALL...
Like Batwoman (Burkha woman) :-P
LOL.. why that mask. It remembers me some Burkha women standing in programme photos. They will do the same. They will pose for photos but nobody can see those women's face except two eyes (some people used cover nose bridge also :-D)
What is the main reason of covering the faces of guilty, which reveals police are favouring such murderers. Police not only arresting, they should disclose their identity, such as which group they belongs and the intension of their killing, on whose behest they killed etc.
Police should post murderers picture with open faces as to know if they can be recognised by people for some other cases. It will help Police also as these culprits might be doing some other unsocial activities like dealing in drugs / supplying prostitutes etc. as such people do this kind of unsocial activities for money.
this is sangaparwar policy to cover thier dirty face to public ....
