A Tihar Jail undertrial took off his T-shirt in a Delhi court to show an Om symbol branded on his back which he alleged was the handiwork of a jail superintendent who had used hot metal for the carving. Advertising Nabbir told Metropolitan Magistrate Richa Parihar that the superintendent not only denied him food for two days in the name of Navratra but also told him that he would convert him to Hinduism. This happened in the Karkardooma Courts Wednesday after Nabbir’s lawyer Jagmohan Singh filed an application, a day after he met his client who narrated his ordeal. Arrested in 2016 under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) and Arms Act, Nabbir had been kept in the High Risk Ward of Jail No. 4.

In view of same, notice is being issued to DGP Prison, Headquarter, Tihar Jail No. 4, New Delhi to get the medical examination of accused Nabbir conducted with immediate effect and also to make enquiry report regarding the burn imprinted ‘Om’ mark on the person of the accused.
