Popular educator and YouTuber Khan Sir on Saturday came out strongly against the horrific alleged rape and death of a minor girl in Bihar's Muzaffarpur and said such crimes should be treated as acts of treason or "desh droh."
In an emotionally charged response, Khan Sir also urged the country’s legal community to deny representation to individuals accused of such heinous acts.
Khan Sir, whose actual name is Faizal Khan, further stated that he spoke to Bihar governor Arif Mohammad Khan over this matter, and he also expressed deep concern.
"I spoke to the Governor about this. Such people should be boycotted. What do you expect in a country where even rapists get good lawyers? I request the lawyers of our country that if all the lawyers unite so that if someone has committed rape, acid attack, burnt a woman to death, or kidnapping then they will not get a good lawyer. Such incidents should be brought under the category of treason. The Governor was also very concerned about this matter," he said.
