Father Stan Swamy, an accused in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist link case jailed since October last year, had told the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on at least four occasions during his interrogation that fake evidence had been planted on his computer, the activist's colleague Father Solomon said on Tuesday.

Solomon was speaking at an online press conference attended by family, friends, and lawyers of the 16 activists and academicians accused and currently in custody in the case.
