Bengaluru: A tense situation reportedly unfolded inside Bengaluru's Parappana Agrahara Central Prison after inmates linked to bomb blast cases allegedly created a ruckus, raised religious slogans and attempted to assault a prison warden who questioned them over an alleged breach of prison protocols.
The incident, which reportedly took place three days ago but surfaced only later, triggered concern within the prison administration and briefly disrupted normalcy inside one of Karnataka's most high-security correctional facilities.
Parappana Agrahara Jail Incident Sparks Security Concerns
According to sources, two inmates accused in bomb blast cases had arrived at the prison hospital seeking medical treatment. During routine verification, a prison warden allegedly discovered that the duo had attempted to register themselves under another inmate's name.
When the warden questioned them about the discrepancy in the records, an argument reportedly broke out between the prison official and the inmates. The verbal altercation quickly escalated, creating tension within the prison premises.
The alleged attempt to bypass prison procedures has now raised serious questions regarding internal monitoring mechanisms and adherence to security protocols inside the jail.
Over 50 Inmates Allegedly Gathered in Protest
As the confrontation unfolded, more than 50 inmates linked to bomb blast cases allegedly assembled at the location in support of the two prisoners involved in the dispute.
Sources claimed that the inmates raised slogans in support of a particular religion and began protesting against the action taken by the prison authorities.
The situation became increasingly volatile as some inmates allegedly attempted to physically confront the warden on duty, prompting immediate intervention by prison officials.
Authorities have not officially confirmed the nature of the slogans reportedly raised inside the prison.
"The situation was brought under control through timely intervention by senior prison officials and local police personnel," sources familiar with the development said.
Senior Officials and Police Restore Order
As news of the unrest spread within the prison complex, senior jail authorities and personnel from the Parappana Agrahara Police Station rushed to the spot.
Officials reportedly engaged with the protesting inmates and managed to de-escalate tensions before the situation spiralled further.
Additional precautionary measures have since been put in place, and security arrangements inside the prison have been tightened to prevent any recurrence of similar incidents.
Sources indicated that the prison atmosphere has returned to normal following the intervention.
No Official Complaint Filed So Far
Despite the seriousness of the allegations, sources stated that no formal complaint had been registered in connection with the incident at the time of reporting.
The absence of an official case has raised questions about whether an internal inquiry will be initiated to determine accountability and verify the sequence of events.
Authorities have yet to issue a detailed public statement regarding the reported unrest inside the prison.
