Ashok Kumar, who was arrested by Gurgaon Police for allegedly murder Pradyuman Thakur, is finally back home after being released on bail.

Speaking to India Today soon after his release, Kumar confirmed what reports had alleged all along - that he was tortured by the Gurgaon Police and forced to 'confess' to killing Pradyuman Thakur.

Ashok, whose health remains really poor, wasn't able to speak much, but his wife claimed the local cops beat up her husband and gave him electric shocks in order to get him to confess to the sensational crime.

The wife added that Ashok getting bail was a form of justice for the family. "We knew from the beginning that he wasn't involved in the murder. The Gurgaon Police did not carry out a proper investigation. We have faith in the judiciary," she said.
