Wrongly accused in the murder and rape case of Yasuko Watanabe, a 39-year old Japanese woman, Govind Mainali was sentenced to life imprisonment by Tokyo High Court. Working in a restaurant at the time of his arrest, Mainali spent 15 years of his life in Japanese prison before he was acquitted of all charges in light of additional evidences that proved his innocence. After returning home from the ordeal in the foreign land, Mainali has written an autobiography detailing the series of events and his hardship in the Japanese prison. His book ‘Paribanda ma 15 Barsa’ (Trapped for 15 years) is due release next week.
Co-authored by Devendra Bhattarai, The Week presents an excerpt from his book:
Since November 1996, we had changed our jobs and had started living in room number 401 at Khasia Building. The building located at the Shibuya Ward of Tokyo was close to Shinsen Railway Station.
