Siddique Kappan's wife has petitioned the Chief Justice saying that her husband has been tied to a cot in a hospital and has been denied the right to go to toilet for over four days.
Eleven Kerala MPs have written to the Chief Justice of India seeking speedy hearing and interim relief of Siddique Kappan, a Delhi-based journalist who was arrested on his way to Hathras in Uttar Pradesh to report on the alleged gang-rape of a Dalit woman. This comes a day after his wife petitioned the newly appointed Chief Justice NV Ramana saying that her husband has been tied to a cot in a hospital in Mathura and has been denied the right to go to toilet for over four days even after he was infected with coronavirus. "Unable to consume food and with denied right to a toilet for four days, he (Siddique Kappan) has become extremely weak. It is shocking beyond words that such grave violation of human rights is happening in our India, a democracy," the MPs wrote in their petition seeking interim relief and medical assistance for the journalist from Kerala. The MPs belong to Congress and its allies. Congress leaders K Sudhakaran and K Muraleedharan are among the signatories of the petition.
