Punjab prisons virtual clubhouses for inmates: Ex-DGP
Following the Nabha jailbreak incident, former Director General (Prisons) of Punjab Shashikant has alleged that the state's prisons were virtual 'clubhouses' for criminals because of their political patronage. These politically connected prisoners get every illegal facility that can be offered, he added. Shashikant said he tried to improve the situation but failed due to political interference.
