Even if it is not capital punishment, they should rot in jail and shouldn’t be given parole so that they can feel my pain and agony. I am hopeful that their trial will begin soon in the Sangrur court and want that they should be handed over capital punishment. Seven persons, including the then Sub-Inspector Joginder Singh were handed life sentenced by a Sangrur court which was upheld by Punjab and Haryana high court and Supreme Court of India. Later, the attackers kidnapped Jassi before throwing her dead body in a drain near Bulara village. I heard that they were extradited from Vancouver yesterday and reached Delhi airport at 4.45 am today.
