Difference between Bitti Mohanty and Anand Jon

Nowadays one boy called Bitti Mohanty in in the news because he was caught after long time for raping a German lady. I was thinking about the similarity between his case and Anand Jon case.

Bitti Mohanty raped a German woman. I don't know whether he did more rapes. Nothing is recorded. But in his youth, he might have done many wrong things. His father was a high ranking police official, so he might have escaped also.

But when I was reading about what all he was doing after running away from the law, I think that he was sincerely trying to turn a new leaf in his life. Agreed, he committed indiscretions in his youth. But after that, he went to a teacher in Puttuparthi, took help in reforming himself, then he studied MBA, wrote entrance exam for State Bank of India Probationary Officers post, and then he was working silently to make a new living. All his colleagues in the bank and all his neighbours were saying that he was very polite and well behaved and did not cause any trouble to anyone. In the 7 years in which he was on the run also, it seems he did not commit any more crimes.

Unfortunately, his past caught up with him. Kerala police caught him and handed him over to Rajasthan police. Now he faces jail and all. He also faces punishment for running away from the law.

But on the whole, somewhy, I have some sympathy for him. He was trying to reform from his life and beak away from his past. I hope he is not punished very badly. I hope that the courts will recognize that he is not beyond reform, and give him another chance. If he himself was trying to reform himself, then why courts should not give him a chance.
