Ludhiana, May 17

ADGP (Prisons) Parveen Kumar Sinha and IG (Prisons) SS Saini today visited the Central Jail here to probe an alleged liquor and hookah party in one of the barracks here. A video of the purported party had gone viral last week.

The top officials remained at the jail with other officials and visited the barrack where the video was allegedly shot.

While the jail officials here lodged a complaint with the police about some prisoners violating the rules, they did not mention liquor or hookah being served at the party.

The Jails Minister had ordered an inquiry into gross violation of jail regulations.

While jail officials refused to comment on the issue, sources said the ADGP sought to know the identity of the prisoners or undertrials seen in the video. The ADGP is likely to submit a report to the government soon.
