Such a shameful act, Killing people by suspecting them… Education is the only key to eradicate such ills from the society…
cant say anything without knowing the real evidences…. we are living in a society which has its own merits and demerits. if this murder is based on allegations and suspicions then it is the biggest sin that the culprits have committed. we condemn it.
Shakir Saab, even if there is little truth behind allegations and suspicion then who gave those brazen faced killers to kill man and women by getting the law of land into their own hands
Very sad incident ,we only entered physically in to the 21st century not mentally.
we live in an era of ‘enlightened moderated’ AGE OF IGNORANCE…
