I solve it by using following.

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(is, "ISO-8859-1"));

Thanks to all which give me idea.

You might want to use encoding returned by InputSource#getEncoding

Get the character encoding for a byte stream or URI. This value will be ignored when the application provides a character stream.
