104-year-old man released after spending 36 years in Bengal Jail

A 104-year-old man released from West Bengal’s Malda Correctional Home after languishing in jail for 36 years said he will spend time with his family members and do gardening.

Rasikt Mondal was sentenced to life imprisonment by District and Sessions court in Malda in 1992 after being



arrested in 1988, on the charge of murdering his brother in a land dispute case.

He had been enlarged on bail for about one year and given parole another time but again went back to the prison once the period was over and the high court turned down his pleas for release on past occasions.
