Where is sohanlal bhartha walmiki now

Walmiki, who throttled Aruna with a dog leash rendering her a cripple at the prime of youth, said he cannot recall anything about what had happened on that day. However, he asked the journalist "why are you people calling it as rape". He claims that someone else raped Shanbaug. Walmiki says that he and Shanbaug had a fight where he may have hit her, reports The Indian Express. He says that there was bad blood between the two. He claims that Shanbaug would ask only him of all the ward boys to feed the dogs and clean their cages despite his fear of the canines.

About the day of the incident, he says that he had asked her for leave as his mother-in-law was sick. He claims that she refused his request. He adds that Shanbaug said that if he went for leave, she would complain in writing that he did no work, stole dog food and yet went for leave.

Walmiki said that he threatened to complain to her superiors about the way she allegedly treated him and that she played cards with other nurses and ward boys during duty hours.

He claims that the altercation led to a scuffle where he hit her, but adds that he cannot recall the incident. By the time the trial started, he had spent a year in prison, and when convicted for attempted murder, had to serve six more years. There is little information on the whereabouts of Valmiki and also whether he is dead or alive.
