This has been weighing heavily on his mind at all times. During these ten years, he has not been able to appreciate anything. Whether he is at work, at home, or with his family, the fact that he is an undertrial has followed him like a shadow. It’s like being locked up without actually being locked up,” the person added.
Sooraj experiences a mix of relief and dread as the day of the judgement draws near.
