Damages raised over death of Nepali man restrained by Tokyo police

The initial ruling in the case set damages at about ¥1 million, but a ruling Wednesday by an appellate court of the Tokyo High Court raised the amount to about ¥39 million.

The Tokyo High Court has ruled that higher damages be paid to the wife of a Nepalese man who died after being arrested and physically restrained by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).
