A school teacher convicted in a POCSO case, despite forensic evidence proving otherwise, and imprisoned in Nashik Central prison since December 2016,  is set to walk free after 92 months this week as the Bombay High Court has acquitted him. His wife stood by his side like an iron pillar to prove his innocence.

After the arrest of her husband, the woman had to sell off her jewellery to make ends meet. Narrating her ordeal, she revealed that she was shunned by her society after her husband was jailed. In a bid to avoid public outcry, she had to change her rented accommodation and keep a low profile for the past few months, doing odd jobs to survive and bear the educational expenses of her two sons, whose studies were affected by the case.
