Nick Dunn, a former British paratrooper, endured a harrowing two-and-a-half years while under trial in an Indian prison in the MV ship case accused falsely of terrorist activity. Conditions were grim, with makeshift gyms and scarce food. Facing violence from inmates, they organized their own diversions, including a half-marathon. After a shipmate fell seriously ill, their case gained attention, leading to acquittal in 2017. This article documents the story of Nick and his fellow Chennai Six.
