New Delhi: Senior IPS officer Arun Bothra criticised murder accused Siya Goyal after an image showed her making a middle-finger gesture. He said most murder accused display remorse or guilt, particularly when victims are innocent. Calling this case different, Bothra said the apparent absence of remorse was striking and described the accused's conduct as unusually cold and disturbing.
