Congress MP Mohammad Jawaid on Sunday said he plans to bring a private member's bill during Parliament's Monsoon Session seeking compensation to a person "wrongfully jailed" and penal action against erring agencies.
The Lok Sabha member from Bihar's Kishanganj said a spike in such cases and the alleged targeting of fact-checker Mohammed Zubair have had a bearing on his decision to bring the bill.
There have been innumerable cases in which a person has been picked up by police, put in jail and finally acquitted of all charges after facing severe harassment at the hands of the law enforcement agencies, Mr. Jawaid told PTI.
