Intruder’s father says: ‘He should be hanged’
“He is wrong. A child should not do this. If my son has done something good, of course I support him, but if he has done something wrong, I strongly condemn it. Let him be hanged if he has done something wrong for society,” Devraj, father of Manoranjan, said on Wednesday. Delhi Police sources said initial investigations revealed that all four people and an unidentified fifth person came from outside the national capital and entered a man’s residence in Gurugram stayed.
