Videos have emerged showing inmates at Parappana Agrahara Central Jail in Bengaluru using mobile phones and watching television, sparking concerns over serious security lapses and preferential treatment. Among the inmates captured are alleged ISIS recruiter Zuhaib Hameed Shakeel Manna and convicted serial rapist-murderer Umesh Reddy, both seen with phones and entertainment facilities. Authorities have launched a departmental inquiry to determine how the devices entered the prison, who facilitated access, and who leaked the footage. The Karnataka home minister has demanded accountability and promised action.
