Professor Hany Babu, an accused in the Bhima-Koregaon violence case, who is lodged at the Taloja Central Jail, had an acute eye infection which had spread to his cheek, ear, and forehead and it could pose a significant risk to his life if it spread to the brain, his family claimed on Tuesday. A press release issued by Mr. Babu’s wife Jenny Rowena and brothers Harish MT and MT Ansari said he started experiencing pain and swelling in the left eye on May 3, which soon developed into double vision and severe pain. “He immediately requested for consultation and treatment with a specialised doctor, but he was not taken for consultation, because an escort officer was not available,” they said.
