‘Is being a Muslim crime in India?’ asks Twitter as netizens demand release of Dr Kafeel Khan

Jailed paediatrician Dr Kafeel Khan’s wife Dr Shabista Khan has launched a campaign on the social media seeking support for her husband’s release. The campaign was launched on the eve of the hearing of the Habeas Corpus plea in Allahabad high court.

The campaign, #DrKafeelKhanKoAzaadKaro, was trending on Twitter on Tuesday evening.

Dr. Kafeel, who performed his duties with the utmost professionalism and nobility, served the country with integrity and saved the lives of hundreds, is in jail.
This is nothing but custodial torture.
