COLVALE: A morning disturbance inside Colvale Jail on Wednesday led to three inmates being injured after they were allegedly attacked by another prisoner, with police subsequently registering a non-cognizable case.
The incident was reported at around 7.35 am. Police said Virendra Kumar, an inmate of Ward 13, allegedly first attacked Vikat Bhagat while he was asleep in Ward 11.
Kumar is then alleged to have assaulted two other prisoners, Ismail Mulla and Mohammad Sarfaraz, who were lodged in the undertrial ward.
The three injured inmates were taken to the jail hospital, where they received treatment. A medical report submitted along with the complaint recorded their injuries as minor.
The complaint was filed by Shamsunder Kaskar, Additional Superintendent In-Charge of the prison. The jail authorities also provided the medical documentation to police as part of the complaint.
Following the complaint, Colvale police booked Kumar under a non-cognizable offence. Police are now looking into the circumstances surrounding the incident and the sequence of events inside the prison. Further investigation is underway.
