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.

Dubai, Apr 14: Around 2,500 Indians have approached Indian missions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) seeking help to be flown home during the ongoing coronavirus lockdown, top diplomats have said.

The Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Indian Consulate in Dubai together have received requests from "a little more than 1,000 individuals" while the latter has received an additional request from an employer who has laid-off around 1,000 Indian workers, reports Gulf News on Monday.

According to the Indian Ambassador to the UAE Pavan Kapoor, the missions have not been bombarded with mass requests from the people who wish to take an immediate flight home unlike widespread reports on social media.

Most of the individuals who have expressed their interest to return home are visitors and those who lost their jobs, he told Gulf News.

Consul General of India in Dubai, Vipul said his mission had received nearly 1000 requests via email and phone from people who want to return home.

"A majority of them are visit visa holders. On Sunday, we got information about another large group of around 1,000 Indian workers who have lost jobs. The employer has got in touch to know the options to send them back home as early as possible," he told Gulf News.

However, the diplomatic heads refuted unverified reports that claim tens of thousands of Indians were scrambling to fly home during the pandemic.

They added that the missions have been aiding hundreds of workers, who have been left in the lurch by their employers, with provisions.

The Indian government had said that flight services cannot be resumed during the lockdown period, which has now been extended till May 3.

"We had a police picket in the region for a few months now. We are assuming he wanted to create unrest in the area by removing the police from the spot. We could contain the situation because of the CCTV visuals. He was identified immediately after the incident. Following the attack he went to Coimbatore and was hiding there. Our team nabbed him from Coimbatore," he said.

The police have also said that the accused Prabesh had many criminal cases pending against him including those under Explosive Substances Act, 1883. He was nabbed by a team lead by Kathirur SI Nijeesh, CPO Rohith and Vijeesh.
