Unwell and battling poverty, Hemraj Banjade’s wife Khum Kala said that she never thought the Talwars would get punished for the double murder at their home near Delhi five years ago.

The distraught woman said she wanted the Talwar couple to hang. “But I am satisfied (with life imprisonment). I congratulate the Indian judiciary for booking the (killers) of my dear husband, sentencing them to life imprisonment,” she said.
