The Indian government’s appeal against the discharge of Sanjay Bhandari in the UK Supreme Court has been denied, sparking worries about the safety of Bhandari in Tihar jail. The court’s decision, based on human rights considerations, has drawn attention to the risks of extortion and violence that Bhandari may face in the prison. Concerns were raised regarding the conditions at Tihar Jail and fairness issues in Indian criminal trials, potentially violating the European Convention on Human Rights. This development has stirred debate about the treatment of prisoners and the judicial system in India.
