According to jail officials, Nalini began a fast protest from Friday in support of her jailed husband Murugan’s demand for release. Murugan started the fast protest two days prior to Nalini.
Sources said that Nalini was shifted to the prison hospital after her condition weakened on Monday. “The woman convict was denied all jail privileges, including weekly visits by relatives and phone calls to those outside the prison, as she went on fast despite denial of permission by officials,” sources said.
Decision on Murugan
Asked if a similar action was taken against Murugan in the male prison block, jail officials said the final call would be taken by jail superintendent S Andal.
When this correspondent tried to contact the jail superintendent over phone, there was no response.
