GURGAON: Naresh Kumar (33) faces the hardest check each and every time he has to speak with his two daughters and son, about the time he spent in prison.

He attended his last mother's rites under custody. Then, on March 18, 2017, he was amongst 117 employees who have been acquitted by means of the Gurgaon district court.
