Tihar food 'too spicy, oily, deep-fried': US mercenary seeks chicken, fish in court plea

Matthew VanDyke, a US mercenary held in Tihar jail, has raised concerns over the jail's food quality, claiming it's too spicy and oily, leading to health issues and significant weight loss. He's now asking the court for permission to prepare his own meals, requesting specific items like chicken, fish, and olive oil to better meet his dietary needs. The court has responded by issuing notices to jail authorities and the National Investigation Agency to address these claims, highlighting the broader implications of prison food quality on inmates' health and wellbeing.
