Shiva’s journey
Shiva, a resident of Chhibramau, had been sentenced to one year in prison and fined ₹1,000 for an assault charge. According to reports, Shiva has no family, and as a result, no one applied for his bail. However, an NGO stepped in to provide him with free legal assistance, leading to his release after serving nine months of his sentence.
