According to Indian media such as Jagran News, Rasikat Mondal (104) left a prison in West Bengal on the 3rd (local time) for the first time in 36 years.
Living in the village of Manikchak in the Malda region, he was imprisoned in 1988 for killing his brother in a land dispute.
When he was released from prison, he said, `Now I want to spend the rest of my life gardening and taking care of plants with my family."
Also he could not remember how many years he had spent in prison. It felt like it was never going to end," he said.
Local media reported "The elderly looked healthy for their age" he said.
His 85-year-old wife said "It was nice to have my son back home, but I'm glad my husband came home, too."
Meanwhile, some residents said that when his brother was shot and killed in 1988, there were others at the scene, but the evidence was against Rasikat, and that his family members have now moved elsewhere.
