    I was not feeling well, so I ate the food [they gave]. The driver and cameraperson also ate a little. I was having a lot of water as I was feeling nervous. When I went to the washroom, 2-3 female constables accompanied me. There was no electricity or water at the police station [I was kept in]. I was allowed to use the washroom at the hospital where there were blood-soaked clothes. I felt like I would vomit. I saw dead bodies in the hospital late at night. If I think about it, I again feel the same.”
