Around 33 prisoners who were on the hunger strike also accused Superintendent Sucha Singh of misbehaviour.

Prisoners at Open Jail in Nabha News: Prisoners lodged at the Open Jail in Nabha, Patiala district of Punjab, staged a protest and went on a hunger strike, accusing jail superintendent Sucha Singh of delaying their release process.

The prisoners said they were scheduled to be released on January 26. However, they alleged that negligence on the superintendent’s part, specifically the failure to forward their “good conduct” files to higher jail authorities, would force them to spend additional days in custody.

Around 33 prisoners who were on the hunger strike also accused Superintendent Sucha Singh of misbehaviour and demanded the transfer of Sucha Singh, accusing him of mentally torturing the inmates.

DIG Daljit Singh said he held a meeting with the prisoners and assured them that the issue would be resolved.

According to the DIG, the prisoners called off the hunger strike after the meeting; however, the protest may still be continuing, as per information received.
