Terming charges against him 'absurd', Dr Kafeel Khan says 'biggest pain Yogi govt gave him was to distance him from his kids' who live in Rajasthan, while he is in Chennai.
UP govt filed a petition in Supreme Court in October challenging Allahabad High Court’s 1 September judgment that quashed Kafeel Khan’s detention under NSA.
'They made me naked, made me lie down, used batons and sticks to hit me… I couldn’t sit for so many days,' Dr Kafeel Khan tells ThePrint days after release from jail.
The high court has passed damning remarks against the state authorities that ordered the detention of Kafeel Khan, who has been in jail since 29 January.
HC says Aligarh DM who passed the detention order 'had selective reading and selective mention for few phrases from the speech ignoring its true intent'.
Kafeel Khan alleged he was one of 150 prisoners lodged in a barracks meant for 50. But he’s not alone; overcrowded jails are a perennial problem in India.
