The reports of his death come days after the Delhi High Court directed the AAP government and the prison authority to ensure proper medical supervision and care of former RJD MP Mohd Shahabuddin. The HC was hearing the former MP’s petition wherein he had alleged that he was lodged in a cell, in the high risk ward of Tihar Jail.
“Despite the other inmate testing Covid positive in April, Shahabuddin was kept in the same cell with the infected inmate and “no separate arrangement was made by the jail authorities”, the petition read.
