Jail officials sacked after inmates seen partying, using phones
Big shake-up at Bengaluru's Parappana Agrahara Central Prison: two senior jail officials have been dismissed and another transferred after videos surfaced showing inmates blatantly breaking rules.
High-risk prisoners were caught on camera using phones, watching TV, and even partying—right inside the jail.
FIRs filed, staff suspended, probe on
After the videos went viral, Karnataka's Home Minister ordered strict action—FIRs have been filed, several staff suspended, and a top-level internal probe is underway.
Officials are digging into how banned items got in, who leaked the footage, and which staff may have helped.
A high-level review involving superintendents of all major jails is underway as authorities try to clean up the system.
The investigation is still ongoing and more accountability steps are expected soon.
