I know his family, some people have said, well, his family's sticking up for him and my mother's going to do that.
It's not like he nicked a four-pack of beer from the shop or something like that.
He just murdered somebody in cold blood.
You don't protect.
If that was me, my mum would drag me to the police station.
You don't do that.
In our community, it's not just because you're a Sikh, you get away with it.
Our community believes in what's right and what's wrong.
And he was wrong, so he's been denounced over and over again.
His denouncement has gone to the highest levels.
The Akal Thakur, which is the Sikh governing body of the world, which is based in Punjab, have even written a statement about it, denouncing Bikram and his actions and his family's actions.
So the Sikh governing body of the world have denounced this individual and his family for his crimes that he committed against Henry Nova.
What more can we do?
There's a massive difference, and I think people do realise that, and I think people, after the dust has settled a little bit, people are realising that their own people are actually taking this in their hand, you know, and they're putting the worst punishments on this family that are possible, that we can do.
They've been ostracised, they've been denounced, even by the highest level, the Akal Takat, you know, what more can we do?
I think our people do have to have conversations with children in their homes.
I mean, Vikram Digwar was reported to the police multiple times by the community, by the Sikh community.
He was thrown out of Sikh Gurdwaras.
Why didn't the police do something about that?
I think at home, our people need to be wary about who is carrying the Gurdwara and what their mental state is, and maybe in the future take more action if they personally believe that an individual is capable of committing these sort of heinous crimes.
