It is very unfortunate that just one incident
can turn the page of your life, just the way it did for Puneet Puneet. A happy-go-lucky young man became a victim of
his own reckless actions not imagining that those actions could have dire consequences.
Today, he is pleading from Indian authorities to prevent him from extradition
as one last hope before he gets the sentence in Australia.
Not forgetting the embarrassment Puneet has
caused to India as a nation, he owe an apology to a lot of people including
family and friends of late Dean Hoftsee and Sukhcharanjit Singh, who in the spirit of friendship had to bear the consequences and was jailed for
30 months on account of helping him. I do not know the inside story but I
wonder why Puneet could not take a stand for his friend at that stage knowing
Sukhcharan was not to be blamed for any of it. With utmost due respect to the parents who lost their son’s
life, which in no way can be mended; here is another mother whose breath is
hanging in 2 countries decision. There again, Puneet needs to realise the pain
he has caused to his own folks and friends. His image simply emerged out as a
mean reckless young man who cared about nothing but himself.
