Would verdict be same if she was MP or judge's daughter? Asks murdered techie's kin

India Today  

Reacting to the Supreme Court verdict in the 2014 brutal rape and murder of their techie daughter, the victim’s family expressed deep anguish over the judgment. The Mumbai court and the Bombay High Court found the accused guilty, and now the Supreme Court finds loopholes in the case and lets the accused go? When asked whether the family would take legal steps to appeal against the Supreme Court order, the uncle stated that legal proceedings would require lakhs of rupees, and they would therefore not be pursuing the matter further. While acquitting Chandrabhan Sanap, the accused in the case, the top court on Tuesday stated that it was constrained to reach the “sole irresistible” conclusion that Sanap, who had been sentenced to death by the sessions court, was not guilty of murder and rape.
