“One of the residents said it was the day of Jesus Christ, and he gave KaRma to that man. He deserved this as he was cheating on her wife and meeting other women in his wife’s presence. Maybe his wife was waiting for him to come home, but he was doing wrong.”

The resident continued by saying, “Because of this man, we all got questioned as women do not trust men because of some man like him. If we need respect, we should also respect women and give them loyalty, then only we can expect anything from them.”
