Media on 23rd July highlighted 'poison sellers' calling themselves medicine manufacturers. They are possibly worse than Gestapo, the evil Nazis of the last world war. It is a national shame that such people killed many young children through selling their poisonous 'medicine'.
Twenty years of rigorous imprisonment appears to be a mild punishment awarded for their cold-blooded crime. They made money by killing innocent children knowing that they were being given poison. They should have been hanged or given life-term prison sentences. They are far worse than thieves, robbers and other criminals who usually do not kill in cold blood.
In contrast, they were knowingly killing children and making money out of their long trend of routine poisoning of many innocent sick children whose poor parents bought their poisonous medicine to give their children.
Such act of continued barbarous cruel killing is really unbelievable. Thanks the media for plodding and bringing out the reality and truth behind these serial killings. What should happen to the government's drug control agency that totally ignored the matter? They were possibly kept happy by the criminals. The drug control even destroyed records, as reported to save themselves. They too should be tried and punished as partners in crime.
