Letter in name of Supreme Court Judge from Raipur Jail
Your Honour ,
Today I am alive , because of your verdict. You gave the order at the right time so that I could be medically treated again. I was very happy during my treatment at AIIMS hospital in New Delhi, but Your Honour , I have to pay for it now. I am being harassed and tortured here, I request you to have mercy on me . Your Honor I am suffering mentally .
1. I am made to sit on the Ground ”Naked”
2. I am suffering from Hunger
3. I am frisked in an uncomfortable manner, each part of my body is touched .
4. Labeling me traitor and naxalite they torture me
My clothes, soap, surf have been confiscated and I have been accused for many things.
Your Honour How long will Chhattisgarh government, police administration keep on stripping me naked ? I am an Indian tribal woman! I also feel shame , and I am unable to save my modesty here . The use abusive words and accuse me regarding my modesty. After all what crime I have committed that I am being mentally tortured like this ?
It would have been better if you had given me DEATH PENALTY ,how long should I bear this physical and mental torture . Jail authorities want that I should not speak the truth and send you any information about atrocities committed on me and that I should die bearing their torture in the prsion itself , this is what within the law of Chhattisgarh . My voice seeking justice should remain limited to Chhattisgarh so that the naxalite problem could further aggravate. Your Honour If I have raised my voice for my rights, what wrong have I done ? I am being mentally tortured in various manners today. Is it a crime to fighting against the torture being inflicted on one self ? I don’t have right to live ? Don’t I have a right to give love to the children I have given birth to ? Today I am in a very serious condition. This type of oppression becomes the source for the naxalite problem .
Your Honour, please have mercy on me , and solve my problems , this is my earnest request to you. Else the officials of Raipur prison will definitely give me death. Earlier, I have been given a wrong medicine and my skin has burnt, and I have been enduring that pain also.
Your Honour , Please Have mercy on me .
In end, my obeisance.

KAFILA - COLLECTIVE EXPLORATIONS SINCE 2006 
The rulers are replacement and remnant of the Colonial British Rulers. In 1947 the Britishers left but our machinery is holding on to the ways natives(?) were treated. Sorry Soni only God knows if your captors will have pity on you.
