(Artist-activist Sagar Gorkhe, accused and booked under UAPA in the Bhima Koregaon case, is currently lodged in Taloja Central jail. He has recently lodged a police complaint stating that the jail authorities at Taloja entered his cell and seized the mosquito net he had been using. Prison officials have stated that mosquito nets were seized since they pose a "security risk".

Teacher and activist Deepika Tandon writes a conversation that could ensue between a prison authority and a prisoner who has been deprived of their mosquito net and is worried of contracting malaria or dengue.)
