BAREILLY: The Bareilly Central Jail in Uttar Pradesh suspended three jail warders after an investigation revealed that an inmate accused of murder had a mobile phone and went live on social media.
The inmate, Asif, posted a video saying, ‘I am in heaven and enjoying it.’ The deceased’s brother filed a complaint with District Magistrate Umesh Pratap Singh after seeing the video.
A deputy jailor was transferred, and two jailors were asked to explain the incident. Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of prisons Kuntal Kumar said, “Three jail warders Ravi Shankar Dwivedi, Hans Jeev Sharma and Gopal Pandey were suspended for dereliction of duty. Deputy jailor Kishan Singh Baldia was attached to jail headquarters Lucknow.”
The jailors Vijay Kumar Rai and Neeraj Kumar were also asked for explanations. No objectionable items were found during barrack searches.
Asif and another accused, Rahul Chaudhury, are in jail for the daylight murder of a public works department contractor, Rakesh Yadav, in Shahjahanpur.
The incident occurred on December 2, 2019, in the Sadar Bazar Police Station area. Both accused are currently detained in Bareilly Central Jail.
