He said that “there is a possible threat to Shah’s life as he has been kept among criminals in Tihar jail.”
Expressing serious concern over the health condition of Shah, the spokesman said the resistance leader is suffering from various ailments and is on medication.
“The continuous imprisonment of Shah is extremely inhuman behaviour and can seriously affect Shah’s health,” he said
