Picture of prisoner brought to India (4)
I believe the answer is:
icon
'picture' is the definition.
(icon is a kind of picture)
'prisoner brought to india' is the wordplay.
'prisoner' becomes 'con' (abbreviation for 'convict').
'brought to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'con' put after 'i' is 'ICON'.
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for icon that I've seen before include "Image or statue, or symbol on computer screen" , "Image on computer screen representing facility" , "Image - sex symbol" , "Revered person or symbol" , "Venerated picture" .)
