Speaking to the reporters, Soni's father said of his son's alleged crime: "It is a shameful act. Neither have I gone to hospital to meet him, nor will I go to the police station or courts. My son has committed a crime, therefore he should be hanged."

The local bar association appealed that no lawyer should defend him in the court.
