The accused himself asked for the death penalty

After the guilt was proved, ADJ Suresh Kumar Choubey was going to pronounce the sentence against the accused on Wednesday. The accused was brought for this. The judge asked the accused if he wanted to say anything before the verdict. In response, the accused said that he should be hanged.

Whoever casts an evil eye on them, he is not punished for that.' He said that even a death sentence would be less for you. In this quatrain, Goswami Tulsidas ji writes that when Lord Rama shot an arrow at Sugriva's elder brother Bali, Bali asked a question. He had asked why he shot the arrow secretly.
