Mangaluru, Nov 2: The coldblooded murders of two under-trials have raised eyebrows about the safety of the inmates and security measures at the Mangaluru sub jail.
Madoor Isubu and Ganesh Shetty, who had been arrested five years ago in connection with different cases, were hacked to death by a gang with lethal weapons inside the prison on Wednesday.
Who smuggled such lethal weapons into the jail despite the presence of the security personnel and how?
According Mangaluru City Police Commissioner S Murugan, the weapons might have been thrown over the prison wall from outside by associates of some of the under-trials.
He declined to comment on the reports that the prison had witnessed clashes between two gangs for past few days.
He said that both the murders were by the same gang of criminals. “It was the result of a violent clash between two gangs. Madoor Isubu and his alleged associate Ganesh Shetty were attacked during breakfast,” he said.
He clarified that Wednesday’s murders have no connection with any communal incidents. “It’s a clash between two gangs and not a communal clash,” he said.
