GURUGRAM: Around a dozen armed men and a lady in three SUVs grew to become up at the first barrier of Bhondsi prison on Tuesday morning in an attempt to assault prison superintendent Jai Kishan Chiller, who used to be appointed just a month in the past. The assault used to be avoided owing to the presence of thoughts proven by a jail warder who controlled to scare the assailants away.
Jagjeet Singh, IG (prison), said the prison management has written to the police searching for greater safety, but additionally claimed that they had been capable of coping with the "bad guys". An FIR used to be registered towards the unidentified assailants however the police so far have no clues concerning the attempt to assault the prison superintendent. DCP (crime) Sumit Kuhar said the first barrier of the prison used to be no longer within the range of CCTV cameras.
According to prison warder Ram Mehar Singh, who used to be on responsibility at the first barrier, nearly a dozen armed men and a lady in two Fortuners and one Scorpio approached him around 2:30am on Tuesday. The first barrier guards the quarters of the prison superintendant and different group of workers, and is followed by a second barrier which is correct outdoor the primary gate of the prison.
Singh said a lady, along with the driver, used to be on the entrance seat of the first SUV. The different men within the car gave the impression to be bouncers. The men told the warder that they sought after to meet prison superintendent Jai Kishan Chillar however the warder insisted that they place a choice to Chillar first. When the boys said they did not have a mobile phone, the warder started strolling in opposition to the guard room to call Chillar on the intercom. The men referred to as him again and attempted to bribe him. But the warder refused and walked to the intercom once more. This time, the boys came out of the car with revolvers and guns of their palms. The warder, however, couldn't succeed in out to the superintendent and different officials on intercom, but started speaking into it and pretended he used to be calling for the reinforcement of forces. This scared the boys, who then escaped after hurling abuses at the warder and threatening to kill Chillar.
"A woman was sitting in the front seat of the first SUV. The driver was wearing a safari suit and there were other men in the rear seats. They wanted to meet the jail superintendent. But the numberplates of all three SUVs were covered with black clothes and that made me suspicious. I asked them to talk to the superintendent first. One of them said they had left their mobile phone at home. So I walked towards the intercom to talk to the superintendent, but a man called me and gave me five to seven notes of Rs 2,000, which I denied. I again picked up the intercom but it was not connecting owing to some technical glitches. When I saw the men coming towards me with weapons, I put the intercom receiver on my ear and started talking. I asked for more jail staff. The men started shouting at me and asked how many persons were coming. I told them nearly five to seven cops. After that, they quickly got into their SUVs. Before leaving, they abused me and the superintendent, and threatened to kill him, no matter where he hid," said Singh.
Despite several attempts, Jai Kishan Chillar may no longer be contacted. Jagjeet Singh referred to as the assault an act of cowardice. "Our cops are capable but it was early in the morning and the warder's message did not reach us. These criminals will never be able to do anything. It was only a show-off after we took strict action against prisoners who use mobile phones and other objectionable items on the jail premises. I have alerted police and jail staff. If they try to repeat this, they will not be able to escape again," he told TOI.
Based on the grievance of Singh, an FIR has been registered at the Bhondsi police station beneath sections 148 (rioting, armed with deadly weapon), 149 (unlawful meeting), 506 (legal intimidation) of IPC and Section 25-54-59 of the Arms Act. "We have registered the case and police teams, along with our crime unit, are on job. The accused will be arrested soon," said DCP Kuhar.
