He had been a political prisoner for 20-years and was freed after another friend of his died (read that - was killed)in prison and Human Rights groups protested. Looks like you guys have a lot in common, huh? For, your own home ministry announced last year that in 1997 there were 888 deaths in police custody in India -- a 100 per cent increase over the 444 of the previous year. (Of those 888, 200 died in Maharashtra -- ruled by your darling saffron-langots, I may remind you -- a 506 per cent increase over the 33 of the previous year). And remember -- these are the numbers the government is compelled to admit to; they had no other alternative. And yes, Human Rights groups have protested about these police custody deaths too. FYI, many people just sorta "vanish into thin air" and are registered as "missing". This happens a lot in Kashmir, in particular. Human Rights Watch (www.hrw.org) keeps track of all these transgressions of human rights all over the world.
