BENGALURU: H N Sathyanarayana Rao, director general of police (prisons) on Saturday visited Parappana Agrahara Central Prison and met junior officials following DIG D Roopa's report of allegations of irregularities in the jail.
The report submitted by D Roopa to the director-general on July 12 alleged that special facilities were given to inmates including AIADMK leader Sasikala and fake stamp scam case convict Karim Telgi.
Rao, after visiting Bengaluru Central Prison, said that during the visit he looked over several documents and investigated the barracks of the inmates.
Sources said he made some changes in the prison before IAS officer Vinay Kumar, who has been appointed to probe into the report, visits the jail. Rao was not available for comment in this regard.
The timing of Rao’s visit to the prison has raised many eyebrows, as the DIG in her report had accused Rao of providing special treatment to i nmates.
Sources also said that DIG Roopa on Friday sent another report to Rao claiming that no action has been taken against the jail officials for encouraging illegal activities in the prison.
