Mentally ill people chained in UP sheds; petition filed in SC
Several people with psychological disorders are being tied with iron chains and padlocked for days and years in sheds in Uttar Pradesh. This came to light after a Delhi lawyer filed a petition in the Supreme Court, stating, "Chaining and restraining...persons with mental illness in faith-based mental asylum shows there's a huge gap in providing...treatment to the needy in [India]."
