NOw Mr. Fouzie, dont poke your fingers in to this case and ask the BC to throw this case or dont threat the shop owener to make another confession to say that the incident wasnt' true and it was something else.
Let the curruption be punished no matter who is involved.
Charge this currupted Bus Stand chief, send him to jail for years and give a lession to others. |
