Devender Pal Singh Bhullar, a former engineering college lecturer on death row, has been suffering a “slow death” in his 7x9 feet prison cell of the past 10 years, his wife said in an application filed in the Supreme Court on Friday.
Navneet Kaur’s application talks about the “dehumanising act” of making her husband wait for more than 5,700 days on the death row without a word on his mercy petition. “Out of the total 24 hours in a day, he spends almost 22 hours in his 7 x 9 feet cell, suffering a slow death as a condemned prisoner in the special cell No- 2 of Tihar jail No - 3 since 25th Aug 2001, the day he was convicted,” said Kaur, who is fighting the case from Canada.
Kaur’s application starts with a brief narrative about her recent visit to the psychiatric hospital where Bhullar was treated.
“When I met him last time at the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences, I found him to be quiet, withdrawn and unwilling to entertain any conversation except a smile. His condition has continued to deteriorate in post-conviction period since the year 2003,” she said in the application.
