Gwalior, Aug 4 (IANS) An alleged video showing several youths with a jail inmate of Gwalior Central jail in Madhya Pradesh has gone viral on the social media, which has exposed the security apparatus in the jail. Following the incident, the Jail Superintendent Manoj Sahu has ordered a probe into the matter.
Despite mobile phones are prohibited inside a meeting room where prisoners meet with the visitors, this incident has brought forth the lapses on the part of the jail administration.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, special guidelines are being followed in the jail. The room where the prisoners and the visitors meet is surrounded by a glass wall.
Aniket Shivhare, the son of a liquor trader, is lodged in the Gwalior Central Jail. Recently, several youths met him in the jail. The meeting took place following all jail regulations while they interacted standing opposite to the each other surrounded by a glass wall.
After this meeting, a video went viral on social media in which Aniket is seen meeting the youths standing in the visitors room inside the jail and taking selfie.
One of the youths who went to meet Aniket shared a video and pictures of their meeting on the social media. After the matter came to the fore, the jail administration has come under severe criticism.
Picture and video were taken despite there are three prison guards or security personnel deployed inside the visitors room.
Following the incident, Jail Superintendent Manoj Sahu spoke to the media and said, "The incident is a serious negligence. How did a mobile phone reach inside the jail premises? I have ordered a probe into the matter."
Suspicion has now arisen over three more deaths linked to Jolly, the woman who is the prime suspect in six mysterious deaths in her family, and who is currently in judicial custody even as reports have surfaced that she was also planning to eliminate two children.
Naveen Dalal, along with another man, had allegedly attacked Umar Khalid at the Constitution Club in Delhi on August 13 last year. At the time, the two men had told the police that they had planned to disrupt the event that was being held at the Constitution Club.
The Mumbai Congress leader, who has lately been at loggerheads with the party leadership, claimed that Mallikarjun Kharge does not care for the country's religious traditions because he is an "atheist".
