“We found that he was in an uncomfortable position. The odour coming out from the room was unbearable.

 “Later, we broke the room and brought him out. He was behaving like an animal. It was then we learnt that he was kept in the room for twenty years.

 “We also found out he was fed in the room. He urinates and passes his faeces in the same room.
