    In his statement, Jail Superintendent Shamsher Singh said two groups of gangsters had entered into a scuffle. When the cops tried to pacify them, the inmates attacked the jail staff with bricks and stones, he alleged.


    He claimed that the inmates put on fire gas cylinders, the record room, a tractor and another vehicle in the jail. The cops opened firing in the air to control the situation, he said.
