Parents of accused apologise to family of student murdered in Hubballi and people of Karnataka, seek strict punishment

While protests are being held across Karnataka seeking capital punishment to the accused in the murder of Neha Hiremath in her college campus in Hubballi, his parents have apologised to the people of Karnataka and the family of the deceased. They have demanded strict punishment for what their son has done.

Speaking to mediapersons in Dharwad on April 20, Fayaz’s mother, Mamtaz, a teacher, has demanded strict punishment as per the law of the land.

She was deeply shocked by the developments that had led to Neha’s murder. “It is great injustice to Neha and her family.. What he has done is completely wrong. He has made us hang our head in shame. He had left home five days ago (April 13) saying he was fed up of sitting at home and would go find a job. I came to know about the murder after an acquaintance called asking me to switch on the television,” she said.
