NO TV, VIP treatment for Jagir Kaur: DGP Prisons
April 03, 2012  14:04

Amid reports that VIP facilities including an LCD TV were being provided to Bibi Jagir Kaur, lodged in Theh Kanjla Jail in Kapurthala in connection with
the abduction case of her daughter, a top Punjab Prisons official today ordered an inquiry into it. 

Punjab DGP (Prisons) Shashi Kant also insisted that rules will be followed in the case. "I have deputed an IG rank officer to conduct the probe. He will visit the jail and go into all the reports (talk of VIP treatment to Kaur). I don't tolerate any nonsensical stuff and we don't want any adverse publicity. Rules will have to be followed," Kant said.

Asked to comment on reports that a 32-inch LCD TV and DTH dish antenna was installed in the jail yesterday, Kant said he had got it checked from Khanna and the Jail Superintendent told him that the article had not made its way inside the complex where prisoners are lodged.
