After being kept in a quarantine facility since his illegal arrest in an 2018 abetment to suicide case on Wednesday, the Raigad Police took him to the Taloja jail in a van.
On his way to the jail, he shouted from the van, “I am not being allowed to speak to my lawyers. I was pushed and assaulted this morning. They woke me up at 6am and said, ‘We won’t let you speak to your lawyers.' My life is under threat.”
He stated that his bail plea was pending before the Supreme court as he pleaded that he be provided bail.
