BJP activist Priyanka Sharma, who walked free this morning after spending five days in jail for posting a meme on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee last week, said the question of offering an apology doesn't arise as she has done "no wrong".
The Supreme Court yesterday ordered her release, but she had to spend another night in jail as she was freed over 18 hours later - at 9:40 am today.
"I was tortured in jail. The jailor pushed me. They were very rude inside the jail and the general condition was also quite bad. They didn't let me speak to anyone despite getting bail, didn't let me speak to anyone for five days," Ms Sharma, accompanied by her brother, told reporters today. "Water was a big problem inside the jail. There was no water in the women's toilet. We talk about swachh Bharat (clean India) but there was no swachh inside the jail."
"I have not done anything for which I should offer apology. Why target only me? What about many other people who have shared the post, arrest them also? The police took my phone... They told me to say I will never post anything like this again," Ms Sharma said.
