Mandya Prison Superintendent Transferred After Inmate Petition Over Alleged Extortion

The Superintendent of Mandya District Prison has been transferred following allegations of dereliction of duty. The action comes days after a petition reportedly signed by around 80 inmates surfaced, containing an alleged list of rates being collected for various facilities within the prison.

The petition raised concerns about unauthorized charges being imposed on prisoners for basic amenities and services. The transfer has been initiated in response to these serious allegations of misconduct and oversight failures at the facility.
