Dharwad, Aug 4: The Dharwad Central Prison, which has hogged limelight for all the wrong reasons, is back in news for allowing gangsters to celebrate their birthday in the jail.

According to sources, a group of gangsters celebrated the birthday of rowdy sheeter Ganesh Jadhav, lodged in the jail for his alleged involvement in a gang war, on Friday. The photographs of the birthday bash have gone viral.

The incident has once again exposed the callousness of jail staff. This time, they not only allowed the prisoners to celebrate the birthday, but also allegedly took part in the celebrations. The jail staff seemed to have arranged cake and other items for the birthday party, said sources.

Interestingly, the undertrials themselves have videographed the birthday celebrations and made it viral on social media.

In the past, raids were a regular feature and the police had found narcotics, weapons, mobile phones and other banned substances in the jail barracks.

Following such incidents, the prisons department had even installed mobile jammers and CCTV cameras in and around the jail premises.

Now, the birthday celebration in the barracks has revealed that the jail authorities care two hoots for rules.

Jail superintendent Anita R said that celebrating birthday by cutting cake is banned in jail premises. However, there is information that an undertrial has celebrated his birthday in the barracks. An inquiry will be conducted to know the truth, she said.

Ganesh Jadhav was allegedly involved in a gang war that took place near the sub-jail in Hubballi.

Mangaluru, Mar 10: Tension prevailed in the city after an international flyer quarantined at the District Wenlock Hospital walked out of the facility.

The passenger, with a recent travel history to high-risk countries, refused to cooperate with health officials. The day-long drama ended when the district administration intervened and the flyer agreed to get himself re-admitted.

Deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh said the passenger had fever and was sent to an isolation ward. “The passenger is cooperating with the treatment and samples have been collected for testing,” she said. The samples will be sent to a testing centre in Bengaluru.

Sources told  that rude behaviour by staff at Mangalore International Airport may have angered the passenger and he walked out of the quarantine facility.

She said if passengers show reluctance to be screened, they should first be counselled and allowed to get themselves admitted to a hospital of their choice with quarantine facility. If they still refuse to cooperate, they will have to be hospitalised forcefully, she added.
