The illegally detained youth leader of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Waheed Parra on Wednesday was found unconscious in jail in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
According to Kashmir Media Service, Parra, currently detained under the black law, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), over various fake cases imposed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) regime, was found unconscious in Srinagar’s central jail.
The jail authorities took him to the police hospital for a checkup. Owing to his deteriorating health, doctors recommended further treatment, such, as, Echo scan and follow-up checkups at the Super Specialty Hospital.
Meanwhile, Parra’s family said that “his health is worsening day-by-day and we are in shock to hear that he was found unconscious in a barrack by fellow detainees.” The family has demanded better medical facilities for PDP’s leader.
Official sources told the media that Parra was taken to the hospital after his blood pressure suddenly dropped.
After being provided medical aid, he was discharged from the hospital and was shifted back to the prison, the source added.
It is pertinent to mention that Parra was arrested by the Indian National Investigation Agency (NIA) on November 25, 2020, just a day after he announced his candidacy for the District Development Council (DDC) elections and filed nomination papers.
