Bhopal, May 6 -- In the strongest condemnation yet from the Muslim community, Shahr Qazi Mushtaq Ali Nadvi on Monday said accused in the rape and blackmail case be stoned to death in accordance with community laws. He said there was no space for predatory behaviour in Islam.
He said that those claiming religious backing for such heinous incidents destroy themselves and also bring a bad name to the community. They must be shown no leniency while applying the law ordained by the almighty.
The accused had reportedly told investigators that they felt no remorse for their actions which were virtuous in their eyes.
