She said her husband suffered a heart stroke on March 29 but was not given proper treatment.
News 18 reports about the statement given by her whereby she stated, “My husband's health is deteriorating. Doctors have said that the case must be referred to Lucknow, but it the jail administration is not executing the orders. I fear for my husband’s life.”
