Garuda Purana: It is absolutely wrong to think that if any person or creature behaves badly with someone or does bad deeds and goes away, then no one can harm him. Actually, in Hinduism, it is believed that the punishment for the sins committed by a person or any creature on earth is definitely received after his death.
