One in million instances such blunder happens that an innocent juvenile suffers conviction and then sentenced to jail spanning over 28 years.

Some  terrible lapse in identity took away his childhood and adolescences to man hood for ever.

That is Niranaram Chuadhary who came out this year from jail at the age of 41 years having already spent 28 plus years behind the bar just because of an error in his name and of course age in his details.

A Horrendous misread

As if a leaf from a celluloid stuff Naranaram was pushed to the jail and  then was in that incarceration for 28 years for a gruesome murder offence at the age of 12 which he in fact never committed.

How was he put in a death row by a court then when he was never aware of nor did he know what was crime, say reports.

 

Very recently three-judge bench of the Supreme Court concluded on 27 March that he had been tried and sentenced to death as an adult, even though he was only a 12-year-old (a juvenile) when he committed the offence.

Even if the Juvenile Justice  Act 2015 allows imprisonment of to three years and makes no provision for sentencing juveniles to death.

But what was there with Niaranaram when he was arrested in 1994. He was charged of killing murdering five women and two children, along with two accomplices.

And nobody is to blame for this!

But what led Niranaram here? How did he find out that his age and name were botched up? And who is to blame for this?

Niranaram was arrested in 1994 and sentenced to death four years later by a trial court in Pune on charges of murdering five women and two children, along with two accomplices.

Although he is from Jalabsar in Rajasthan, he says he ran away from home and wandered around until he reached Pune.

“The other factor which has crossed our mind is as to whether a boy of 12 years could commit such a gruesome crime. We possess no knowledge of child psychology or criminology to take into account this factor while examining the report of the Inquiring Judge.”

Chaudhry who is released now after being a middle-aged man almost was broad enough to say that, he has nothing to be angry now and his time lost can never come back. Now he has to see ahead.
