I want justice, says Bhaiyyalal Bhotmange

Nagpur, Nov 8 (UNI) Bhaiyyalal Bhotmange, whose wife, daugther and two sons were killed by villagers in Khairlanji in Bhandara district of Vidarbha recently, today said the culprits responsible for the merciless killing should be punished and demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the incident.

''I want justice. The guilty must be punished, but there should be no injustice on others, either,'' Bhotmange said while addressing a press confernece here this afternoon.

Alleging the police is deliberately going slow in the probe as they want to hush up the case, Bhotmange demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the incident.

''I had named over 15 women who were among the mob that killed my wife, daughter and sons, but the police have arrested only two of them, while the others are roaming around scot-free,'' he said.

A visibly shaken Bhotmange alleged politically influential persons from the village and the district were involved in the conspiracy to eliminate his family and in the actual killing.

Bhotmange said the entire village was against his family because they were independent-and did not mix with the others.

In reply to a question, Bhotmange said he would never return to Khairlanji.
