00:00I have apologized.

00:02I should have been hanged.

00:04I have put my son in jail.

00:08And I have kept him in jail.

00:30I have asked the government to give me the death penalty of all four families.

00:37I have not done anything wrong.

00:41Now what will I do with my life?

00:45It's good that after seeing the death penalty, I understood why I lived.

00:51The children in my house used to see them laughing and playing with their father.

00:55They used to be happy.

00:57I was not able to come because of the money problem.

01:00Then he somehow deposited the money for the rent and brought it for the child.

01:04Then I told him that this is your father.

01:07He was happy to see.

01:09But he started crying on the way.

01:11It would have been so nice if my father was with me.

01:15He started crying.

01:17What did your son say to you?

01:19Tell me.

01:22The government is harassing us because we are poor.

01:26They have hanged us.

01:28The government is so sensible.

01:32He has a daughter-in-law and a son.

01:35He is an old man.

01:37Where will he go?

01:39The government should think about this.

01:41I am also asking for justice.

01:43I am not being treated unjustly.

01:46My husband is being snatched away from me.

01:50Isn't that being treated unjustly?

01:52Am I not a woman of this country?

01:54Am I being treated unjustly?

01:56We also want justice.

01:58I also want to be married.

02:01Our children are nothing.

02:03They are poor.

02:05The government does not give any help to the poor.

02:08The government is ready to hang my son because he is poor.

02:16They have hanged him.

02:19If they had punished my son, it would have been better.

02:26If my son had been in jail, I would have been happy.

02:31My daughter-in-law would have been safe.

02:35I have apologised.

02:37I should not have been hanged.

02:39I would have taken my son to court.

02:43I would have put my son in jail.

02:47I wanted my son to be in jail.

02:51I could not live like this.

02:53I could not live in this world.

02:57I did not ask for anything from the government.

02:59I just asked for my son.

03:01I did not ask for anything else.

03:03My son should be safe.

03:05I did not ask for anything else.

03:07I did not ask for anything else from the government.

03:13I did not ask for anything else.
