This is the guy who kidnapped, raped and killed a 3-year-old in Jamshedpur yesterday. When someone responded stating that religion might have played a role for the accused who is out on bail, Farhan responded, PLEASE dont make this about religion. This is about a system that is not working and needs to be fixed urgently. On what grounds does a criminal of this kind get bail??
