At that time we used to say that Riya is being made a scapegoat. We were very unhappy about it. So, I am very glad that he was not brought to the main barracks; He was kept in a special cell. I think he was put there so that he wouldn’t watch TV because people would keep that TV on. It would have been very disturbing for him to hear about your case all the time,” shared Sudha in an interview with Newslaundry.
Describing Rhea, Sudha said, “She was friendly with people. She was very friendly with the children. On his last day in jail, he had some money left in his account and he brought sweets for all of us. And then everyone was like, ‘Riya one dance, one dance’ and she is obliged.”
