Summary

PLEASE LISTEN TO ‘SEASON 6 - EPISODE 47’ FOR PART ONE OF THIS TWO-PART CASE. In a shocking case of mistaken identity, 17-year-old Aamir Siddiqi’s life was savagely brought to an end when he was stabbed to death. The two men accused of the killing stood in the dock, blaming each other for the crime. The person who allegedly ordered the botched murder had fled the country. However, he was captured by the Indian authorities and was awaiting extradition. Agonisingly, protracted legal proceedings prolonged the family’s torment when several times the trial collapsed, leaving Aamir’s loved ones wondering if they would ever get justice… (Part 2 of 2).
