Brief Scuffle Between Two Inmates in Chanchalguda Prison Medical Wing

Overview

• The clash occurred Wednesday morning inside the medical area, with officials identifying the inmates as Jabri and Dastagiri.
• A senior prison officer said Dastagiri allegedly twisted Jabri’s arm during an argument, triggering a brief fight.
• At the time, Jabri was undergoing routine screening while Dastagiri had arrived complaining of stomach pain.
