What's in a name? When the police got Gopal Shete's name wrong, it resulted in him being unjustly arrested for rape and jailed for six years. Although the Bombay High Court acquitted him in 2015, the police had already ruined his name and life. He lost his wife and children, his father died of a heart attack, and his mother became mentally unstable.

Nine years later, Shete, 42, has moved the high court once again with a writ petition seeking the state's assistance for his rehabilitation. The case will come up for hearing this week, when the HC will review the case as per the new recommendations made by Law Commission of India this year. The Commission recommended that in cases where the police and prosecution wrong a citizen, redressal is the State's liability.
