He stated that he was moved by the suffering of the patient and made the decision to part with one of his kidneys to save the patient’s life. The officer didn’t believe a word of it, but he gave …

Published by Parlour News

Sixteen convicts serving their prison term in southern Mizoram’s Lunglei jail have walked out of jail over the last four months on the basis of forged court documents, police said on Thursday.

We dare not question the orders of the court,” he added. Lalruatsanga said a 22-year-old inmate lodged in the same prison, Jeremiah Lalthangtura, was suspected of having plotted the elaborate fraud.
