    At last.Wonder how he gets sleep at night with blood in his hands.I read a news report that he partied hard and enjoyed his life for the past 9.5 years never ever regretting that he had destroyed 6 families.Wonder what kind of person he and his family is.I hope the law takes a right decision and hands down a harsh punishment.

    The powerful Indian press has been responsible over the last 5 years in bringing many such cases into the public domain. Gone are the days when the rich and mighty used to buy everyone around them and get away scot free.

    Justice has finally prevailed and this is another lesson to the rich and powerful. The massive public awareness that our press is creating will see to it that the guilty will be punished no matter how powerful. Mr. Nanda it is now time for you to cool your heels behind bars for some time.

    Better late than never.Kill in 1999, enjoy life for 9 years and then get convicted.It will be interesting to know what punishment he gets. Next on the agenda is Appeal and then another 10 years of freedom. Why do we keep seeing in all reports that he is the grandson of an ex naval chief why not greatgrandson of someone.

    He is the accused and not the son of so and so or grandson of so and so. Committing a crime, he should be just as any other criminal.
