He told in an interview, “I was hopeful for justice from the Indian judicial system. On November 3, I was acquitted by the High Court of Himachal Pradesh. I was punished by session court under certain circumstances on September 30, 2016, for a crime which I never did. We appealed in the High Court and on November 3, 2018. I was acquitted as I was never involved in the crime for which I was jailed for two years.”
While working on the magazine, Khimta was also preparing for civil services exam while being in the jail where the prison authorities helped him to write the magazine.
