There was a slow whirring fan at the police station; a police official was sitting in front of me, reading a newspaper. On the other side, there was a prisoner constantly looking at me. I was sitting in their CCTV room, thinking about my wife, daughters and all the fans who had come for us.”

“A few minutes later, a policewoman came and said, ‘Sir, selfie click kar lo? Mere bachche aap ke fan hain, unko aap se baat bhi karni hai’. I said, ‘Madam meri FIR ho gayi hai, thoda ruk jao please.”

Jab pata chala toh mujhe laga daant padegi ab bahut, but his first message was ‘Aap theek ho? Bachche theek hain?’ (Pauses) it was a difficult day for all of us. But his patience and strength kept us going. When he came home that night, we made sure to celebrate his birthday.”
