Delhi Court Summons Tihar Jail Over Safety Concerns for Aaftab Poonawala
A Delhi court has summoned the Tihar Jail superintendent to report on measures taken to protect Aaftab Amin Poonawala, accused in the 2022 Shraddha Walkar murder case, after he alleged ongoing threats from fellow inmates despite earlier court orders. Poonawala claimed inmates threatened to harm him, including slashing his face with improvised weapons. The court emphasized the state's duty to ensure the safety of undertrial prisoners and allowed for Poonawala's possible relocation to a separate cell to safeguard him.
