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.
