VHP General Secretary Praveen Togadia said in a statement that the ATS was torturing the sashu-sadhvis and targeting Hindu religion. He also urged the judiciary to protect the human rights of all citizens.
The statement said that one of the Malegoan blast accused had told the Nasik court on November 17 that he was not allowed to meet either his lawyer or his family. Besides, the ATS was preventing three letters that he had written, to be sent out.
The statement added that Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur had told the court that she was tortured by the police.
Togadia threatened a nationwide stir if the Maharashtra government failed to address the human rights concerns of the accused.
