The incredible story goes back to 1898 when a banyan tree or "banyan tree" planted in Landi Kotal (Pakistan), was "arrested" under the orders of a British army officer.
The tree that has been chained for more than 100 years was arrested by James Squid, who, under the influence of alcohol, thought that the tree was wobbling towards him. Threatened by the attempt of the tree, the officer decided to teach a lesson to the offender. Once the order was given, the tree was immediately arrested.
To this day the prisoner is chained with a sign hanging from its branches that says: "I am detained. One night, a heavily drunk British officer thought I was moving from my original location and ordered the sergeant to arrest me. Since then I am arrested.
The tree in captivity has become a kind of curiosity and a local attraction, both for locals and tourists who witness one of the most unjust acts that can be.
