A video of two Tihar jail officials coming to blows, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, has gone viral.
The incident took place on the night of February 1 when the duo started hitting each other inside a stationary car in Janakpuri area. Drawn by the commotion, people gathered around the vehicle and somebody in the crowd also captured a video clip of the incident on a mobile phone.
Tihar jail officials have said that they have initiated the process of suspending the duo over the matter.
“We have taken serious note of the video and are ensuring strict action against the two jail staffers, head warder Anil Upreti and warder Digambar over their drunken brawl. Such an act is unbecoming of government servants and the process is underway to suspend them,” said Mukesh Prasad, Additional IG (Prisons) and spokesperson for the Tihar prison complex.
