In the aftermath of Neha Hiremath’s murder on Thursday, the slugfest continued on Saturday, the mother of the accused Fayaz Kondikoppa apologized to the parents of the victim and said that her son should be punished. The apology came on a day when Karnataka Home Minister, Dr. G Parameshwara also apologized for his “in love” remark in the case.
Talking to reporters, Home Minister Parameshwara stated on Saturday that, if his statements regarding the case had hurt the feelings of Neha’s parents he would regret issuing the statements.
Reacting to the incident Parameshwara had stated that Neha and Fayaz were in love with each other.
Expressing regret, Fayaz’s mother Mumtaz said on Saturday, “What my son did is a crime. When Fayaz told me about Neha I had asked him not to continue the relationship.
“My son should be punished severely. He dreamt of becoming an officer in the Karnataka Administrative Service (KAS). Neha was a good girl. I apologize to their family.”
Reacting to this, Geetha, the mother of Neha said, “Ask them to bring back my daughter. I am waiting for my daughter. The accused should be punished, he should be hanged.
“We know our daughter. There was no relationship between the two. Did our daughter not know which religion she belonged to? We always spent time together, she shared everything with me.”
Neha’s father, Hubballi Dharwad Municipal Corporation (HDMC) corporator Niranjan Hiremath has maintained that it is a case of Love Jihad.
Neha was stabbed to death on the college campus in Hubballi city. The students had chased Fayaz, caught him, and handed him over to the police.
Investigation into the murder of 21-year-old Neha has revealed that Fayaz, her former classmate at KLE Technological University, killed her for allegedly rejecting his advances, according to the police.
