Bengaluru: The inmates at Parapanna Agrahaha Jail staged a protest against the authorities on the transfer of H N Sathyanarayana Rao and D Roopa.

Prisoners wanted to know why chief jail superintendent Krishna Kumar was still in his position when Roopa, who had filed a report alleging irregularities in the jail had been shunted out.

The protest began around 1.30pm as inmates gathered near the kitchen and admission room. The agitation came down around 2.10pm, minutes after which news of Kumar’s transfer broke out.

Superintendent Anitha R was appointed in-charge chief superintendent in his place.

Retired IAS officer Vinay Kumar will begin his inquiry into Roopa’s allegations of irregularities at the Parappana Agrahara Central prisons on Tuesday. On Monday, he met the home secretary, who briefed him about the fracas between two senior prison officials.

Sources said everything at Parappana Agrahara is now going according to the jail manual.

That includes restrictions on the frequency and duration of visits by outsiders. It is highly unlikely Vinay Kumar will find any evidence of irregularities listed by DIG D Roopa, sources said.

DIG D Roopa, who had locked herself in her office chambers on Seshadri Road, refused to speak to media following her transfer. “No comments,” She has been posted as a commisisoner for traffic and road safety.
