According to Sabih Mahmood, brother of Fasih Mehmood, he was pushed by jail inmate Friday afternoon when he was going back to his ward after meeting family. He was brought to court on Saturday on a wheelchair with bandage on leg. His lawyer Mahmood Pracha appealed to the Judge for an enquiry and treatment.

The Court has directed the Jail officials to send him to AIIMS Trauma Center for medical check up and directed an enquiry.

Engineer Fasih Mahmood was detained on May 13th by Saudi authorities accompanied by Indian officials from his home in Jubail. TCN was the first one to break this news. Initially, India denied any knowledge or hands in Fasih’s arrest but when his wife moved the Supreme Court then India requested Interpol to issue a Red Corner Notice. Even then India denied knowing anything about reasons for Fasih’s arrest.

It took 160 days from the illegal detention of Fasih Mahmood in Saudi Arabia to his arrival in New Delhi and still there is utter confusion in news reports announcing his arrest.
