Although
repeated efforts to get a comment from Murabharari were unsuccessful as his

“There
was overwhelming evidence against Murabharari though he had denied everything.
He has now came back to pay the fine as ordered by the chief. As I speak, he
has already paid part of the fine in the form of money and has promised to
bring more soon,” said Shoko.
