US inmate in Tihar Jail seeks special diet, court hearing set for July 21
American Matthew VanDyke, arrested by the NIA on terror charges linked to alleged drone training activities, has requested permission to prepare his own meals inside Delhi's Tihar Jail. The former war correspondent claims the jail's standard food is unsuitable for him and has reportedly been on a hunger strike in protest. Tihar Jail maintains a fixed dietary plan for its population of over 20,000 inmates, leaving little room for individual exceptions. A Delhi court is scheduled to hear VanDyke's plea for a special diet on July 21.
