They may have been accused for raping the TISS student, but friends of Vinamra Soni (21) and Jaskaran Singh Bhullar's (20) have not given up on them. A friend of the two has floated a blog appealing netizens to give Soni and Bhullar a second chance.u00a0u00a0u00a0
The blog titled 'They din't do it' (sic) created by their schoolmate Tarush Agarwal, who studied with the duo in Loyola School, Jamshedpur, requests the public to hear their side of the story before passing a judgment.u00a0u00a0u00a0u00a0
In his post, Tarush writes: "I will continue to write to defend my best friends, for I firmly believe they could notu00a0 commit this heinous crime. I would like to mention, Jask, apart from being the bearer of the friendliest, nicest, and cutest guy trophy is also a brother of three adorable sisters and he respects women."
In an e-mail response to MiD DAY, Agarwal who is currently in USA, said, "Through this blog, I want people to know that there could be a different side to the story. I want them to know that Jaskaran and Vinamra are nice boys, who do regular guy-like things, but at the same time have a strong influence of Indian culture."
Tarush also mentions in the post that Soni and Bhullar were in a train when they heard of the case being filed and were consequently asked by their parents to get off the train, wait for them and then surrender to the police.
