Darshan's Counsel Alleges Denial of Basic Facilities in Jail
Actor Darshan's lawyer says the jail isn't giving him basic things like a bed, even though the court ordered it.
The lawyer says this is like the jail ignoring the court's rules.
The lawyer also says Darshan is being kept isolated for too long and is being watched closely, while other prisoners have more freedom.
The government, however, says Darshan is getting what he needs and that the rules are being followed.
Darshan's counsel alleges prison officials failed to provide basic facilities like a bed, despite court orders.
The counsel argues this constitutes contempt of court.
The counsel questions the prolonged quarantine of Darshan and other accused.
Counsel claims cameras have been installed around Darshan.
The government pleader states Darshan is receiving adequate facilities and quarantine is in accordance with prison regulations.
