One of the accused in the Delhi gangrape case, Vinay Sharma suffered serious injuries after being attacked in Tihar jail. His lawyer said that he is a very critical condition. He was attacked weeks after the main accused Ram Singh was found hanging under mysterious circumstances in the same jail in March.
The accused was rushed to the state-run Lok Nayak Hospital in New Delhi on Tuesday with chest injuries. His lawyer alleged that his client’s food had been poisoned.

He was vomiting blood and had a very high fever when he was brought to the hospital. He suffered from chest pains. He was beaten up and thrashed by inmates in the jail. The vomiting was caused by the “slow poisoning” of his food over a period of several weeks, his lawyer alleged.
Several twists had been seen in the brutal gangrape that had triggered massive outrage across the country. Yesterday, the BJP accused that the file relating to the private bus in which the 23-year-old girl was gangarped, had gone missing.
