In her prison diary, actress Snehalatha Reddy (pic) wrote what happened to her after she was picked up by police in May 1976. She was held without trial in Bangalore Central Jail, where she endured regular torture. This is what Mahatma Gandhi's followers did in the 1970s. 2/n
On two occasions in prison, Snehalatha went into an asthmatic coma. With her health failing, she was eventually released on parole in January 1977. Five days later, she passed away as a result of chronic asthma and a debilitating lung infection. 3/n
