Nodeep gets bail, report reveals bruises A medical review submitted in Punjab and Haryana High Court on Friday revealed that Kaur, who had alleged police assault in custody, had suffered multiple injuries
Trade unionist Nodeep Kaur, in jail since January 12 for a demonstration for labour rights in Haryana’s Kundli, was released on bail on Friday night.
A medical report submitted in Punjab and Haryana High Court on Friday revealed that Kaur, who had alleged police assault in custody, had suffered multiple injuries.
According to the medical examination report placed before the high court on Friday, Kaur had “purplish bruises of around 10x7cm present over LT (left) thigh, lateral aspect, bruises of around 5X6cm over RT (right) buttock”.
A medical report of an arrested trade unionist whose organisation is part of the farmers’ movement mentions two fractures on his hand and foot and broken nail beds on his toe caused by a “blunt object”.
The injuries are consistent with details in a harrowing account Shiv Kumar, 24, president of the Mazdoor Adhikar Sanghatan, has shared with doctors.
The medical report conducted on February 20 has concluded that the injuries were more than two weeks old. This would suggest that Kumar would have suffered the injuries before February 6.
Kumar is in a jail in Haryana since February 2. His testimony to the medical board alleges torture at the hands of police after he was picked up from near the farmers’ protest site at the Singhu border near Delhi on January 16.
