Mohammad Amir Khan in jail for 14 years on false charges gets Rs 5 lakh

“Rupees five lakh can’t buy my 14 years back, but it can help me provide a better education to my daughter who is just four-year-old,” said Mohammad Amir Khan, who was acquitted in 18 terror cases in January 2012, after spending 14 years in jail. “I was 18-year-old when I was picked up by the Delhi Police in December 1997. I was tortured and forced to sign several blank papers. The police had charged me in 18 terror cases. The trials began, but one after another I was acquitted in all the cases,” said Mr. Khan, who lives with his wife and daughter in Jamia Nagar.
