On Oct 7 last year, a convicted prisoner, Asghar Ali Mansoori, killed himself in Nashik Jail. Knowing fully that the officials would tamper with evidence, he wrapped his suicide note in a polythene bag and swallowed it. The note named five officials.

Mansoori& #39;s death changed anything. Both the prison & police depts have done everything to protect the accused officials. All of them continue to serve at the same prison and also torture the prime witnesses in Mansoori& #39;s torture and suicide case.

Both the judiciary & the state govt have failed to stop this blatant brutality continuing at Nashik Jail. Asghar Ali Mansoori and now Avinash Jadhav have named several officials of corruption, torture and abetment of suicide. But the prison department fails to act upon it. (ends)
