‘Rajan Chittilappilly was denied medical care’
Human rights activists have accused the authorities of denying natural justice to Rajan Chittilappilly, a suspected Maoist activist, who was arrested by the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) of the Kerala Police from a Thrissur hospital last week.
Janakeeya Manushyavakasa Prasthanam secretary C.P. Rasheed claimed on Tuesday that Mr. Rajan had been denied the services of a lawyer and the permission to meet his relatives. Mr. Rajan was arrested when he was undergoing treatment for the severe injuries he suffered in a road accident. He was presented in the District and Sessions Court, Manjeri, Malappuram, through video conference, which remanded him in judicial custody till January 8. The police questioned him for five days.
