.Very very sad ending of a briliant career. The culprit should be given exemplary punishment, so that nobody ever dare to be anti social element. But unfortunately most of the crime in India goes unpunished if criminal is from the family of politician, Police or beaurocrat or given minor punishment. Punishment should be so severe that culprit criminal should not see day light ever in his life. My heart felt condolences goes to bereaved family, may god give them strength to bear untimely heavy loss.
