One inmate had to be taken to GTB hospital for treatment. DG (Tihar) Sandeep Goel said, “Twenty three inmates have minor injuries, and first aid treatment was provided to them in the jail dispensary. Most of them had minor injuries while one inmate was sent to GTB hospital.” A senior jail official said, “The incident took place when two jail inmates, Mhd Danish (30) and Anish (35), were asked by the jail staff not to come out of their ward at around 5.30 pm due to security reasons in view of several gang rivalries. But they did not accept their request and got agitated. Danish and Anish went inside where they first injured themselves and later asked others to injure themselves.”
