“I had a conversation with his mother, she said that her son is a barber. She said around 6-7 people used to come to him and get haircuts but never used to pay. The last time when they came he asked them to pay after which his brother was killed,” he said.
“This is a clear-cut injustice and this needs to be rectified. What punishment is to be given is up to the court but I can put pressure and I will not step back,” he added.
