Srinagar, December 31 (KMS): Family of an illegally detained Kashmiri prisoner, lodged in India’s Tihar Jail has said that harmful chemicals are being put into the scanty foods of Kashmiri prisoners in the jail.

Fatima Begum whose husband Mehmood Ahmed Khan is in the 13th year of his life sentence, while narrating the tale of Kashmiri prisoners lodged in Tihar Jail to media men in Srinagar said “the jail authorities are endangering Kashmiri prisoners’ life by denying them medical aid”, adding that her husband has developed some serious ailments apart from the general weakness and Arthritis.

Fatima’s husband Mehmood Ahmed Khan was arrested from Kangan by the Indian Border Security Force troopers in November 1995 and was awarded life sentence by a court in New Delhi.

Faitma who was on a visit to meet her husband said that prisoners told her that harmful chemicals are being put into their scanty foods. “The sick prisoners said that they need hot water in the chilly winter, but are not provided by the jail authorities,” she said.

Fatima alone sustaining her four daughters by sewing clothes and earning a paltry sum of Rs 1500 per month said, her husband is being subjected to psychological torture.

Fatima, said she cannot hire a lawyer for acquiring legal permission for medicines. She urged the authorities concerned to reopen her husband’s case for fair trial and demanded shifting of her husband to Srinagar Central Jail.
