Lawyers who appear for this type of thugs should be rejected by the entire public. Hate these type of Lawyers!

Government will realize soon common people are no longer fools.

These thugs are so cunning that they know the safest hiding for them is the remand or the jail. Later they can safely come out after the danger period.

So enjoy while you can mate, but you must be feeling lonely !

So if he didn't surrender now, our Police would have been chasing his tail for more than 10 years. HE's the winner!

Grumpy Wednesday, 20 June 2012 04:37 AM

His lawyer is a UPFA strongman?

George Baron Wednesday, 20 June 2012 05:11 AM

Most of the dictators even in the recent past thought that they would survieve against all odds, that's the mindset of them, but what ever bad they do always follow them and get them to surrender to the people. We have many recent examples on this. Those who do the same in our country also will face the same.

Amare is a very good gentlemen. I don't think he has any connection with this incident.
