Rajesh said there is "no law in India" and that it is "nothing but a banana republic."

"The system is just nothing. I am sorry to say. I should not have been born in this country. I want the country, media to wake up. It is not fair..." he told a TV channel.

Rajesh said he has tried everything to prove his innocence for the past two-and-a-half years.
