Singh was in the real estate business when he first went to jail in 1989 — he doesn’t remember the case. When he lost his mother, he could not attend her last rites. And since he had been in jail, he had not been able to get married.

His lawyer Vivek Srivastava said they were planning to file a damages suit of Rs 1 crore against the state.

Singh said his problems began when he contested the Assembly election in 1989 from the Sarojini Nagar seat. An Independent, though he did not win, he garnered the second highest number of votes. This, he said, did not please some politicians, who saw him as an emerging threat.

One after the other, he was framed in criminal cases. In jail, he was often harassed and kept in isolation, said his brother Rakesh.
