‘My grandson has been reborn today’

Co-accused Ayush Bhat,a college student and a musician,said he wants to get back to his studies and music. “I felt like I was thrown into a zoo along with other animals. It was like living in hell,but a learning experience,” Bhat says,standing next to his grandmother,who has attended each court hearing.

“My grandson has been reborn today. We knew all through these years,he will be proved innocent. Cannot wait to have him back home,” the 75-year old from Nagpur,said.

Other two,Rajiv Dhariya and Amit Kaushal said they were relieved. “I was 20 and a half then,youngest of all in the family,with little responsibilities. Now I am 25 and will have to face the world as a responsible boy. It is a challenge,” Dhariya said.
