Lucknow (HRNW)- Jageshwar Prasad Awadhya, who worked as a clerk in the State Road Transport Corporation of undivided Madhya Pradesh, was arrested in 1986 on charges of accepting a bribe of Rs 100. After almost 39 years, the court has acquitted him with honor. According to media reports, Jageshwar Prasad says that now the High Court has declared me innocent, but the weight of this certificate from the court is very less compared to the heavy burden that I have carried with my entire family for 39 years. He said that I could not educate my children, could not get them married, relatives cut off contact with me, my wife died due to lack of proper treatment. Now can anyone give me all this back?
