The lone survivor of Khairlanji Dalit killing incident, Bhaiyalal
Bhotmange on Wednesday said he was unhappy with the High Court
verdict, which commuted the capital punishment of six accused to life
imprisonment and demanded that Maharashtra government file an appeal
in this regard.

"The court decision was unexpected. The Maharashtra Government should
now go in for appeal against the HC order to give me justice,"
Bhotmange told reporters outside the court.

Not a single person has been confirmed death sentence, which was
unfortunate, he added.

Defence lawyers Sudeep Jaiswal and Neeraj Khandewale were extremely
happy over the judgement.

"Our stand has been vindicated for the second time, first at special
court in Bhandara, which awarded death sentence to six accused and
gave lifer to remaining two. And now today at the HC," they said.

Counsel for CBI, Ejaz Khan said prima facie, the court has upheld the
guilt of the accused and the quantum of punishment is the prerogative
of the High Court.

"We are happy, at this stage," he said. Four members of Bhotmange
family were brutally murdered by an angry mob in Khairlanji village on
September 29, 2006.
