Muluk further states that he is absolutely against the violence of any sort. “His actions can, in no way, be considered to amount to sedition, to provocation for rioting, or for incitement of hatred between classes or communities,” the plea said.
Muluk added that he has roots in society. He is a qualified engineer with a good track record in automation. He suffers from hypertension and through the Covid-19 pandemic has been supporting his parents, aged 60 years (father) and 57 years (mother), financially and he also stayed home to support them as it was inadvisable for them to go out, the plea stated.
“He is presently 34 years old and works with
Environmental groups as a volunteer and a consultant. His family includes his parents and one sibling. He has absolutely no
criminal antecedents. He has absolutely no capacity to influence the investigation or any witnesses,” he said.
