The family members of Benarasi weaver Mohammad Arman, who was wrongly arrested five years ago, are counting the minutes for his release.
The 35-year-old man has been in jail for almost five years since the capital s Pallabi police arrested him in what officers said was a case of mistaken identity.
The High Court in a verdict on Thursday pronounced him innocent and ordered that he be released. We never thought it could take five years to get an innocent man released, Arman s mother Sohor Banu told The Daily Star after the verdict was announced.
She still shudders at the thought of her harrowing journey over the last five years.
