He was a decent and a religiously orientated person who would help out in feeding schemes in various communities,” he said.“He was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. He is being made a scapegoat. We have also seen the video in court. Jeetendra never carried a panga as the state suggests,” he said.Harrilal said the family was demanding answers from the correctional services department for alleged ill-treatment meted out to Jaikissoon.
