Court Denies 'Sex Bail' for Prisoner
AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) - An Indian court has refused to
release a Muslim, charged over the train torching that triggered
Gujarat's Hindu-Muslim rioting two years ago, so he could go home
to have sex with his wife.
The special court in Gujarat's main city, Ahmedabad, said if it
granted bail in this case, many other prisoners would ask for the
same thing, officials said on Tuesday.
Firozkhan Zafarkhan sought bail last month, saying he and his
wife suffered mental trauma because they had not had sex for a long
time.
