Scottish man trapped in India for four years forgives corrupt police...

A SCOT who has returned home after four years in a legal limbo in India falsely accused of drug dealing has said he does not bear a grudge towards his captors.

Former social worker James Toner, 48, spent 12 months in a filthy cell in Goa and a further three years locked in a legal nightmare after the claims were made against him.

After returning to his home in Castlemilk in Glasgow and being reunited with his family and friends yesterday, Mr Toner was in a forgiving mood towards the corrupt police officers who set him up for the crime in 2009.

Mr Toner, of Glasgow, said: "I have no anger. I have no resentment. I forgive everyone."

Initially jailed on remand, Mr Toner was released on bail after his accusers themselves came under investigation.

But, thanks to India's mercilessly slow justice system, he was trapped, penniless, in the state while he waited his final fate.

Allowed to leave this week, he caught the first flight he could book himself on. Full story...
