Prayagraj, Dec 21 (IANS): A minor error made an Uttar Pradesh man spend eight more months in prison even after he was granted bail by a court.
The mistake was that his middle name 'Kumar' had not been mentioned in the bail order.
The applicant's name in the remand sheet was Vinod Kumar Baruaar, while the court order mentioned his name as Vinod Baruaar.
The jail superintendent kept a man in illegal confinement for eight months only because of this error.
Vinod had filed a bail application before the high court and on April 9, the court directed his release on bail.
