    Camera recordings of inmates being abused and tortured by jail authorities, made by a well known media house, were made public few days earlier.

    The Deputy Jailer of Kasna Jail, was filmed using a club to thrash an inmate's soles, a torture technique common in some middle-eastern countries.

    This despicable act was abetted by the prison's Chief Warden and other prisoners.
