I don't think he is 10th pass. It is the school records that shows him a juvenile.

This is a typical court room argument (as we see in movies), arguing for the sake of arguing and totally devoid of common sense. So, there can not be any response to his.

So it is now 1 down and hope the rest follow.

I know rejoicing is about to start on this thread as one accused is dead. Or maybe there will be people who will be sad that he did not die a more horrible death.

But I just want to say, that what happened to the girl was as much wrong as what happened to the accused. The girl had every right to go out in the night, as Ram singh had the right to defend himself in a trial.

I can only hope that strong anti-rape laws and better protection for under trials will emerge from this incident.

While strong laws are made and implemented, people should reform to respect other people and law. Plato had said "Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws". So, laws are never solutions to any problem.

If police cannot protect someone in their custody, it's stupid to expect them protect a woman on the street.

I sincerely hope it was not a suicide.

It will be interesting to follow how the official version of this event unfolds on our media.

NO.

These two are dimensionally different .

Most likely, he has been murdered. I understand he was in a 12 x 12 feet room along with 3 other inmates. In a room of this size, it is a bit difficult to believe that a person (with partial disability in one hand), tied the noose without anyone else realizing.

The circumstances also raise eyebrows. What was that plastic bucket there for?

Am sure there was some foul play involved in it. Why murder him now is something I cannot understand. But yea agree with the post above that if the Police cannot protect you in there own lock up then its mundane to expect them to be able to protect anyone on the streets.

[roy_libran]

Can't understand all this fuss. All's well that ends well!
Whatever it was,,the guy got his just desserts. Kudos to whoever made this happen.

[rohanjf]

I am sad that he killed himself. It would have been a better end if he had been mentally tortured for a couple of years in the jail, then led to the gallows. He should have begged for mercy as the noose was tightened around his neck.

Who were the other 3 inmates? Were they co-accused in the same case? If so, they might have killed him because they suspected that he'd turn into a witness. If they were accused of some other (petty) crime, they'd have decided to punish this guy for his crimes.

Other 3 were not accused of same case.

This is crazy.
Imagine a thief (petty crime) kept with the Murdered, and the thief already knows that the murdered is going to be punished. Then one night, he gets up, fed-up of our judicial system's late response and decides to give it a result himself.
