Engineer Rashid, MP from Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir, has claimed that he has been tried to attack Tihar Jail. He told his lawyer Javed Hubbi that the Tihar Jail administration has devised new ways to harass Kashmiri prisoners. Eunuchs are deliberately kept in their barracks. They are encouraged to incite, attack and create hostile atmosphere.
According to Awami ItiHad Party (AIP) statement, the lawyer claimed after meeting Rashid in jail, “Engineer Rashid was attacked when a group of eunuchs pushed them to gate and dropped them on them. He survived somehow. It could prove fatal. This is nothing short of a planned attempt to harm them. ”
