A special National Investigation Agency court today convicted six persons, who are allegedly members of the banned Popular Front of India.
Professor T J Joseph whose palm was chopped off by alleged activists of the now-banned PFI 13 years ago over a college question paper insists he bears no ill will against his attackers, although the incident had a huge fallout on his life. He had lost his job for a while, which resulted in his wife dying by suicide.
A special NIA court today convicted six persons, who are allegedly members of the banned Popular Front of India, in the sensational hand-chopping case of 2010 in the second phase of the trial in the matter. Five others were acquitted by the court.
Mr Joseph firmly believes his life was not destroyed by what happened 13 years ago, but admitted it did undergo some changes and he did suffer some losses. He also sympathised with his alleged attackers, saying they were mere "weapons" and "victims of their beliefs."
