Accepting the request of ADG (Jail) Arun Ray, Azad called off his fast
which was going on for the last 21 days. Azad’s associates Kamalakant
Sethi and Asutosh Soren also ended their fast, said sources.
Azad and his six fellow inmates had been hospitalised in the Capital
Hospital on April 6 after the condition of them turned serious as they
have been on a hunger strike for the past few days. Later, under
deteriorating health condition Azad and few others were shifted to SCB
Cuttack.
Notably, Azad was lodged in the Jharpada Circle Jail here from 2011 and
it was his fourth fast inside the jail in the past five years demanding
fulfillment of the five point charter of demands which includes speedy
trial, status of a political prisoner, regular court production for
trial of the cases filed against him.
He alleged that the State Police intentionally booked him in old cases.
