His family deserve to be compensated either by offering suitable appointment to next of kin or financial assistance to the bereaved family.commercial institution like ABL should make an earnest effort to set a admirable example to set the morale of its employees.

But if he had failed and was alive still. Hed have been the first to be tortured miserabily. Our police must learn to do investigative work more professionally. And we should stand upto police brutality especially when trying to coerce confessions.
