Jailed Yasin Bhatkal asks for sun, fresh air, and CCTV 24x7

July 08, 2015 08:56

Yasin Bhatkal, co-founder of banned terror group Indian Mujahideen, has asked that he be put under 24x7 CCTV surveillance at the Hyderabad Jail where he is lodged, as he fears a threat to his life. Bhatkal's lawyer, Shaik Saifullah, also said that Bhatkal has in an earlier appeal sought "sunshine, air and clean water" as his seven-feet-by-seven-feet cell in Cherlapally jail has none of these.

Yaseen's lawyer added that his client feared that he might be killed in a 'fake encounter'. The security agencies were "intentionally" delaying the proceedings on one or the other pretext. He termed the reports of Yaseen planning to escape from the prison as 'false' and 'untrue'.
