New Delhi:
The Supreme Court is expected to pass orders on Chhattisgarh tribal teacher and activist Soni Sodi's petition of alleging torture against the Chhattisgarh Police.
Sodi has been jailed on charges of being a Naxal. She claims she has been falsely implicated in a number of cases linking her to Naxal activities.
During the hearing on Wednesday, the court had indicated that she will be asked to go to a neighbouring place - Kolkata or Nagpur - for medical examination.
Sodi wants the case be shifted to Delhi and a Special Investigating Team (SIT) to be appointed.
A suspected Naxal conduit accused of receiving "protection money" from the Essar group for the rebels, Sodi was arrested on October 4 in south Delhi by a Chhattisgarh police team. She was then taken to Dantewada for interrogation but was not produced before court. The Chhattisgarh Police claimed she fell in a bathroom. The medical report too said there was no torture.
But Sodi has alleged that she was being treated like a thief and a dacoit by the police.
