I am a window I don’t have anybody to fight for me, I need justice for my daughter, she has been bleeding since yesterday night that the incident occurred”

“This development is pathetic and we call for maximum punishment for this devil in human form according to the laws of our land. Already he has confessed to the crime and therefore deserved not to be allowed to walk free.”
The Human & Environmental Rights Activist said, the rapist is not supposed to cohabit with humans.
“He has betrayed every trust. We are worried that a 38-year-old man would take pleasure in defiling a five -year-old. This is sacrilegious. It is irritating”
He said that his group will assist the police in ensuring that the suspect is prosecuted.
