The arrest of Salim Khan, also known as Salim Wastik, has brought back painful memories for the family of Sandeep Bansal, who was kidnapped and murdered in 1995. Sandeep's mother, Renu Bansal, expressed her anguish, stating that her heart would only find peace when Salim faces the gallows. The family, residing in Gokalpuri, Northeast Delhi, has shifted their focus from a cement business to hardware shops over the years, but the memory of Sandeep remains vivid. Renu recounted the day Sandeep went missing after school, revealing that Salim, a physical trainer at Ramjas School in Daryaganj, had kidnapped him and later demanded ransom. After a police operation, Salim was arrested and confessed to the murder. Although he was sentenced to life imprisonment, he escaped on bail in 2000 and had been on the run until his recent capture. Sandeep's father, Sita Ram Bansal, was unaware that Salim had been evading justice. The family's hope for closure has been reignited, but the pain of their loss remains fresh. Sandeep's elder brother, Sanjay, expressed a wish that such tragedies do not happen to anyone else.
