New Delhi: The demand for an investigation into the death of Father Stan Swamy, an accused in the Elgar council case, has intensified. People belonging to the Elgar Council lodged in Mumbai's Taloja Central Jail are on a hunger strike on Wednesday. Jailed Elgar inmates have termed it as 'institutional murder.' He blamed National Investigative Agency (NIA) and Taloja jail superintendent Kaustubh Kurlikar for Stan Swamy's death.

Prisoners in Taloja jail say NIA and Kaustubh Kurlikar left no chance to oppress Father Stan Swamy. Whether it's treatment within the prison, or the rush to get it from the hospital to jail, or the opposition of trivial things like sippers. He says that all these reasons caused the death of Father Stan Swamy. He has demanded a murder case against NIA officials and Kaustubh Kurlikar. He has also called for a judicial inquiry into Stan Swamy's murder, terming it an "institutional murder."

He says he is also going to write a letter to Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray on all these demands. The jailed Elgar prisoners have imposed many more bayonet charges on the jail superintendent. Two prisoners related to the Elgar council case had filed a petition in the High Court alleging that jail superintendents were not giving their personal letters or lawyers' letters on time. The high court has asked the jail superintendent to file a reply in the case.
