Sooraj’s mother Zarina Wahab was on tenterhooks on the eve of the verdict. “We’ve waited for ten years for the vedict. It has been hell for our son. All this time we’ve believed that the Almighty would do justice to our son.”
The situation at home has been pretty tense for some time.
Says Zarina emotionally, “When my son looks at me I can feel his pain. I am not able to look into his eyes. We don’t say much to one another. I can feel what he is going through. And I feel helpless. I can’t say anything to him. I know my son is innocent. Dus saal lag gaye hain. Lekin mujhe oopar wale pe pura bharosa hai. I feel this has been a phase, a traumatic phase. Lekin ooparwale ke ghar me der hai andher nahin. I am fully confident that my son will get justice, because he is innocent.”
Zarina and the family are gearing up for tomorrow’s hearing. “I will be in the court tomorrow with my son. The verdict will be at 10.30 am. Please pray for Sooraj. He is a strong boy. He has full faith in the judiciary. Ussey maloom hai ki insaaf milega. Insha Allah.”
