Actor Soni Razdan set the cat among the pigeons with her tweet asking why Afzal Guru's statements against his investigating officer Davinder Singh, the suspended deputy superintendent of police who is now being investigated for his alleged links with terrorists in Jammu & Kashmir, were not taken seriously. Opposing death penalty, Razdan had mentioned in the tweet that this was a travesty of justice. "...Who is going to bring back a man from the dead if he is innocent..." she had added.

The 64-year-old actress said Singh should have been investigated when Guru's allegations surfaced. The tweet caused a stir. Her comments came on the heels of Deepika Padukone's visit to Jawaharlal Nehru University to stand in solidarity with students who were attacked by a mob on the campus.
