Agra: In order to show his good work, the police turned the innocent man around for 16 years making him a defendant. But when the witness appeared in court, he exposed all the evidence and claims of the police. During the hearing, Additional District Judge Dinesh Tiwari acquitted the accused in the absence of evidence, declaring him innocent.
