“I was taken aback after I saw my husband’s condition, as he looked pale and had lost a lot of weight,” she said. She further said that no food was served to Sharad between April 28 and May 3 and he was given only provided water. She added that she had petitioned the state human rights commission, the home department and district sessions judge, seeking intervention in the matter.

When contacted, additional director general of police (prisons) Meeran Borwankar refuted the allegations and said, “This is totally false. We believe in respecting human rights of all prisoners. She has written to me also and I had discussed the issue with the Yerawada jail superintendent,” she added.u00a0
