‘There are no doctors, nurses, support staff or medicines to look after the sick’
The condition of inmates inside the Taloja jail is very grim, claimed friends and family members of those arrested, including 84-year-old Father Stan Swamy, for their alleged involvement in the Bhima Koregaon caste violence of 2018. Father Joseph Xavier, who spoke to Fr Stan Swamy on the morning of May 14, told the media via a virtual press conference that the 84-year-old Jesuit priest had cough, fever and a running stomach, and that Fr Swamy had told him he was feeling very weak and fragile. Fr Swamy was arrested on October 9, 2020.More Related News
