'Policemen asked us to keep door of bedroom open and sleep'

August 30, 2018 22:53

"We were asked by policemen to keep the door of the bedroom open and sleep. I was livid and I flipped. I asked them to stand up and say sorry," Sabha Husain, female partner of activist Gautam Navlakha, said today.

She was describing the scene at their residence in Delhi's Nehru Enclave, where Navlakha has been put under house arrest.

Husain said she and Navlakha are under constant surveillance with policemen present at the residence.

She said she felt "worst" to be surrounded by policemen all the time and be "constantly watched".

"This morning, I ensured the three policemen, including a woman constable, was moved outside the house. The lawyer gave them a piece of her mind after which they moved out," she said.

Husain said it was a relief for them.

"We are alone in the house today. There was a constant police presence inside. We wake up to them. Wherever we go inside the house, they watched us. It completely disorients your mind," Husain, who has been with Navlakha since his house arrest, said.

Authorities have ensured a heavy police deployment outside the residence and barricades have been put up.
