The Police showed him a 2-days back-dated ‘First Investigation Report’ stating that he had fought with his younger Brother in Law, beaten him, severely injured & threatened to kill him by Pointing a Pistol at him. This astonished the Person a lot, as nothing such happened at all. The Police Kept on convincing him, that if he paid $ 50,000 he would be Released to go to home & his Report would be cancelled. It took about 05-hours, after which, his Statement was taken by a Police Officer & was locked up in the Police Station in the evening. His Elder Brother in Law, THE Navy Officer, came in late Evening & asked to Pay him $ 150,000, if wanted to be freed. The man had to refuse & told the Police Officer:
“ Whatever I had, was All taken by them, that amount was over $ 1 million. I am left over with Nothing to further keep on Paying them.”
He was kept up in the Police Lock-up, illegally for 07-days, where he was on illegal Punishment. His Brother in Law paid $ 5000 to the Police Officer, for which he was severely beaten even in the Presence of his Brother in law, & was seriously injured. Afterwards, he was presented before the honourable court. His 03-friends Contributed together & paid his attorney-Fee in the Court. The honourable Court sent him for a Rigorous imprisonment.
In the Prison, he was given ‘No place to stand for the day or sleep at night’. One of the Prisoners gave him Food to eat while another Prisoner shared his Place on the Ground to sleep. He was told by his Fellow Prisoners that he had to Pay $ 2500 per month, for his half place to sleep. He was also informed that he would have to pay $ 7500 per month for food, tea & even water. He was put to a Rigorous imprisonment, & had to go for 12+ hours of Hard, insulting, Humiliating & Disgusting Labour Daily, despite being a ‘Prisoner under trial’. After 01-month, he was told by the Prison Superintendent, that he would have to Pay $ 50,000 to be exempted from the Daily 12-hours’ Labour. The Person being a Patient of Low Blood Pressure & Heart-Disease couldn’t continue his destined tough Labour in the hottest months of July & August for his 2nd; month, was fainted & fell down. He was taken to the Prison-Hospital Unconscious, Sweating, with Heart sinking & Severe Chest Pain, by his Fellow Prisoners. He was examined by a doctor & was admitted in Hospital, where the Emergency-Patient was kept in the General ward.
Another Fellow-Prisoner Purchased Medicine from outside the Prison for his First Aid. He remained Unconscious for over 06-hours. Next day he was told to Pay $25000 for his bed-charges in the Prison Hospital. He was sent back to the barrack without Treatment. On the 2nd; day, he was asked by the Prison-Authority to restart his 12 hours’ daily Labour. Being very weak, having high Temperature & chest Pain, he started but couldn’t continue. He was tortured & Publicly abused.
He was used to be warned strictly during his Prayer’s time, or during Reciting The Holy Quran. He was never presented before the Honourable Court for over 10-weeks during the dates when called. He suffered a lot for being a ‘Falsely Accused of an unknown Crime’ he didn’t commit or even knew it.
