Alleged gangster Neeraj Bawana today threatened to go on a hunger strike if better facilities of food and medicines were not provided to Tihar jail inmates.
In a letter to a Delhi court, Bawana, arrested in connection with several cases, talked about the poor condition of the inmates lodged in high-risk ward of the country's largest prison.
In the application moved before Additional Sessions Judge Tarun Sherawat, the gangster said if his demands were not met by March 19, he would go on hunger strike along with other prisoners of the high-risk ward.
