I was mentally tortured in jail, says Priyanka

Published on: 

BJP youth wing activist Priyanka Sharma, who walked out of jail on Wednesday after being arrested for posting a morphed picture of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Facebook, said jail authorities pressured her and extracted an apology for the post. Sharma, however, asserted she had no regrets for sharing the post for which she had to spend five days behind bars. She claimed she was “mentally tortured” in jail and was not even given enough water to drink. Sharma was released from jail at 9:40 am after the Supreme Court on Wednesday called her arrest “prima facie arbitrary” and pulled up the West Bengal Government for the delay in releasing her.
