A little over a year after Mohammed Khadeer died, days after having been allegedly tortured in police custody, his wife Farzana finds herself in a dire straits, and in need of medical attention.
Mr. Khadeer was picked up by police in February 2023 on suspicion of his alleged involvement in a chain-snatching case in Medak, an allegation Ms. Farzana rejects. The incident sparked outrage in Telangana and invited condemnation from civil society groups.
Speaking to The Hindu from Kamareddy, Ms. Farzana claimed that unable to deal with what has been happening, she tried to end her life. She was admitted to the Government General Hospital in Kamareddy by her relative, where she is receiving medical attention.
