The biggest Bucksuzi in the world, 43 years wrong in prison, will now be deported by the US to India

After serving 43 years in prison for a murder he did not commit, Submaniyam “Sub” Wedam was finally released.

New evidence had cleared him of charges earlier this month of killing his former roommate.

But before it reached his family's wings, Wedham was taken into custody by the American Department of Migration and Customs (ICE), which wants to deport him to India a place where he hasn't lived since he was a baby.

Now, Wedam's legal team is fighting a deportation order, and his family is determined to get him out of custody forever.

His family is now working to cope with a new situation and a very different “”, his sister Saraswath Vedam told BBCPeriscope broadcast.

Her brother passed from a facility where he knew the prisoners and the guards alike, where he meant other prisoners and where he had his cell, to a structure where he shares a room with 60 men and where his story of good conduct and mentoring is unknown.

Vedam has repeated a message to his sister and other family members after the new situation: “

My name has been cleared, I'm no longer in prison, I'm detained”

1980 assassination

More than 40 years ago, Wedham was convicted of killing his former roommate, Tom Kinser, a 19-year-old college student.

Kinser's body was found nine months after he disappeared in a forested area with a bullet wound to the skull.

On the day of Kinser's disappearance, Wedam had asked for a car. As the vehicle leading the Kinser returned to its usual location, no one saw him return.

Wedam was charged with killing Kinser. He was denied parole, passport and green card known as “Green Card” was seized by authorities and labeled “foreign that is likely to flee”.

Two years later he was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. In 1984, he was sentenced to two and a half years to five years in prison for a drug - related criminal offense as part of a plea agreement. That sentence would simultaneously be punished with life imprisonment.

Throughout that time, Vedam kept his innocence of the murder charges.

Supporters and his family members emphasized that there was no physical evidence that linked him to crime.

Possible Report to India

The family has stressed that Wedam's ties to India where ICE said they would like to deport it.

As he was born there, he moved to the United States at the age of nine months. Relatives still alive are the distant ones, Mrs. Wedam told the BBC.

His community Mrs. Vedham, her four daughters and other cousins are in the United States and Canada.

Vedam, who is a legitimate permanent resident, was granted a request for citizenship before being arrested. Both his parents were also American citizens.

“We believe that deportation from the United States now, to send it to a country where it has little connection, would represent another terrible injustice committed to a man who has already endured a record injustice,” said his lawyer, Ava Benach, in a statement to the BBC.
