Maoist D Keshav Rao alias Azad and five others, who were on a hunger strike at the Jharpada Special Jail here with speedy trial demand, were admitted at the Capital Hospital on Saturday as their condition deteriorated.
Though their indefinite strike entered 11-day on Saturday, no concrete measures have taken to ensure speedy trials of agitating Azad and seven other Maoists.
They are demanding speedy trial, stopping of lodging of fresh charges, commencement of trial within three to six months' of arrest, provision of political prisoner status and refraining from re-arrest when acquitted by a court or out on bail.
