Indian police are going to extreme lengths to make sure the one suvriving militant from the Mumbai attacks does not kill himself.
Ajmal Amir Kasab has been refused any clothing, except for underwear, to prevent him from choking to death, according to reports.
He is being held in a room with no furniture or fittings or anything he could use to harm himself with.
All his food is tasted in advance by police guarding him, the Independent reports.
Kasab and at least nine others killed about 170 people in a series of coordinated attacks on hotels and public places in Mumbai.
Kasab, 21, is now the Indian authorities' best, if not only, source of information about the planning behind the attacks.
This week detectives plan to use sodium pentothal, a so-called “truth serum”, in order to try and obtain more information from him, despite warnings from experts that the drug often produces unreliable results.
The Mumbai Mirror said the 21-year-old from Pakistan's Punjab province was being routinely moved in order to prevent any effort by other militants to reach him.
He is fed a simple diet of tea and bread for breakfast, lentils and chapattis for lunch and more pulses and rice for dinner.
