The month of Ramzan is one of the holiest in the Islamic calendar, and the 30-odd days are considered the best to cleanse the mind, body and soul of all its sins.
One such act of repentance by a Muslim driver in Jogeshwari, provided closure to a family of a victim murdered eight years ago in Kasara.
The victim was kidnapped, thrashed and brutally murdered, and his body was dumped in the hills of Kasara in July 2003.
The local police found the body in an unidentifiable state and closed the case in December 2003, as they were unable to decipher the identity of the victim or trace its kin.
However, during the last 10 holy nights of Ramzan last month, Mohammad Kais Shafi Mohammed Baloch alias Chintu (26), a driver, could not bear to keep the burden of murder on his chest anymore.
