Durga Prasad Timsina had been languishing as an undertrial for 41 years at the Dum Dum Correctional Home in Kolkata but in the last two weeks, he got a new life. The Calcutta High Court ordered his release on March 17. Image
Timsina came back home to Nepal to meet his mother. The reunion was made possible by a prison inmate and some detective work done by a group of Ham radio operators in the two countries.
The 72-year-old Timsina was certified mentally unfit to stand trial for the murder that he was accused of.
As per the court records, the man who promised him a job in the Indian Army in Darjeeling embroiled him in a murder case in 1980. Ham Radio, a West Bengal Radio Club verified Timsina’s case history and got in touch with their counterparts in Nepal.
They reached out to his cousin and on March 21, Timsina reached Lumbak when a huge crowd surprised him.

On May 23, 2013, Chhota Devi from Rajasthan was married off when she was just 14-year-old. She faced threats from her husband and in-laws, was terrorised by caste-panchayat and was thrown out of the house by her parents. She also had to drop out of college following a scare. Image
Eventually, Devi learned to work at a ticket counter of a cinema hall. Almost eight years later, a local court in Jodhpur last week finally nullified her child marriage with Mahendra Sihag.
According to Devi, now 21, Sihag is 'a good for nothing drunkard'. Devi said she does not know Sihag's exact age but recalls that he was around 23 back in 2013.
