Slain Humayun's relatives asks for neutral trial

They fear that the accused, Foysol Ansari, being a US citizen, is trying to influence the government with the help of the embassy concerned as the trial is reaching its end.

Foysol was arrested on the night of the incident and is now in jail but his relatives are allegedly threatening to kill the relatives of late Humayun. During phone calls, they claim that Foysol will soon be free and will punish them.
