Beaten up, slept on floor: Man jailed under Sec 377 17 yrs ago
After the Supreme Court decriminalised homosexuality, Arif Zafar, who was jailed under Section 377 in 2001 on grounds of promoting same-sex relations, has said he was denied human rights in prison. "I was beaten up in the jail for 15 days continuously...I was made to sleep on the floor...not even given water," said Zafar, who spent 47 days in jail.
