Murderer Celebrates Release After 20 Years in Jail by Bursting Firecrackers Outside Victim’s Home

November 26, 2024, 1:13 pm

A man in China, recently released after serving 20 years for murder, caused widespread outrage by celebrating his freedom with firecrackers and a lavish banquet outside the victim’s home. Despite the victim’s family pleading with him to stop, he continued his provocative actions until local authorities intervened.

The incident was brought to light when the victim’s son, Xiang, shared a video on Douyin, a popular Chinese social media platform. In the video, he described the emotional impact of the murderer’s actions. He also recalled the brutal murder of his father, who was killed by three men hired by a neighbor. Xiang, then 15 years old, never had the chance to see his father’s body, which was set on fire after the killing.

“If I had the chance, I’d like to talk to the killer. Not to vent my anger, but to understand why he made the choice that brought so much pain to two families. But on the day of his release, I was met with blatant provocation and overwhelming malice,” Xiang said in the video.

Looking Back At The Murder

Xiang’s father was murdered due to a dispute among relatives. The murderers, hired by a neighbor, killed him in his bedroom, then set his body on fire. Xiang’s family faced constant threats and surveillance from the killers, shielding the young boy from the trauma of the incident.

Murderer’s Celebration

Upon his release, the convicted murderer hosted an extravagant banquet outside the victim’s house and set off firecrackers, seemingly celebrating his return. The celebration continued until local police intervened, speaking to the man and his family about the incident.

Social Media Outrage

The man’s actions have provoked strong reactions on social media. One user on Douyin wrote, “Why were so many people at the banquet? What were they thinking?” Another questioned, “What was the point of 20 years in prison? If he received a reduced sentence, it was clearly a mistake.” A third user commented, “A murderer like this shouldn’t have been released. Investigate that prison thoroughly.”

September 8, 2024, 11:53 am

Colleagues of the Kolkata doctor who was tragically raped and murdered inside RG Kar Medical College and Hospital have shed light on her grueling schedule in the hours leading up to her death. Known for her punctuality and dedication, the victim had been commuting from her home on the outskirts of Kolkata for the past year, although she previously stayed in a hostel.

On August 8, she arrived at the hospital’s OPD at 10 am and was assigned to unit 2A, where she admitted six patients, according to a TOI report. After 3 pm, she had lunch in the sleeping room, where staff usually ate. “She came in after 3 pm and had her food in the sleeping room next door where we usually eat. She was a little reserved but very focused,” a colleague shared with the newspaper. He added that he left the hospital at 4:30 pm, instructing her to call if any patient’s condition worsened. “The call never came, and the next morning I learned of her gruesome death,” he said.

Another junior colleague recalled encountering her in the corridor just hours before the crime. “Didi was dashing to the ward when I bumped into her in the corridor. We exchanged pleasantries, and she said she had a lot of work in the ward,” the trainee doctor remembered.

At midnight, after having dinner, she took a round of the ward. Following 16 hours of work, she retired to the seminar hall at 2 am. The next morning, she was found dead in the hospital.

The police arrested a Kolkata police civil volunteer named Sanjay Roy for the crime. CCTV footage captured Roy entering the seminar hall at 4:03 am, and his Bluetooth headset was discovered at the scene. During a polygraph test, Roy claimed he found the woman already injured and unconscious when he entered the seminar hall. However, the CBI believes he is attempting to mislead investigators. The agency informed the court that the woman was not gang-raped but was allegedly raped and killed by Sanjay Roy.

Shraddha murder case: Union minister Kaushal Kishore blames victim for her murder, netizens slam him

November 17, 2022, 2:30 pm

Social media users are furious about allegations made by Union minister Kaushal Kishore that Shraddha Walkar was responsible for her murder. Kishore claimed that educated women are to fault for abandoning their parents for live-in relationships while speaking to the television network CNN-News18.

If you really fall in love with someone, get married first. What’s this live-in relationship? Such methods are encouraging crimes, Kishore said when asked if he held the victim responsible for her murder. “Absolutely responsible (for the incident). Her mother opposed, her father opposed… an educated girl took this decision… it was a mistake.. they should get involved in (live-in relationships).”

Priyanka Chaturvedi, a leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT) and a member of the Rajya Sabha, criticised Kishore for having a “blame-the-woman-for-all-problems mentality” and demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi fire the minister if he truly believes what he says about women shakti.

“Surprised he didn’t say girls are responsible for being born into this nation. Shameless, heartless and cruel, blame-the-woman-for-all problems mentality continues to thrive,” Chaturvedi said in a tweet.

“If @PMOIndia really means what he says about women Shakti then he must sack this Union Minister immediately. We the women have had enough of carrying the burden of such patriarchal rubbish in the society,” she added.

Aaftab Amin Poonawala, the accused, is accused of killing Shraddha Vikas Walkar, his live-in partner, on May 18. He is also accused of hacking her body into 35 pieces and dumping them in the Chhattarpur and Mehrauli neighbourhoods.

In 2019, Poonawala and Walkar connected through an internet dating service. Later, they began employment at a call centre in Mumbai’s Malad district. The pair started living together in Mumbai before relocating to Delhi in May of this year since their families were against their relationship.
