In view of same, notice is being issued to DGP Prison, Headquarter, Tihar Jail No. Reached for comment, Ajay Kashyap, Director General of Tihar, told The Indian Express: “We have ordered an enquiry into the incident. Necessary CCTV footage be collected and statement of other inmates be also taken in this regard.”AdvertisingThe court also instructed jail authorities to ensure Nabbir’s safety and that he be “immediately removed from the direct or indirect supervision of jail superintendent Rajesh Chauhan”. The report will be submitted in court once the enquiry is complete.”The court, which had called for a report by Thursday, has now asked the jail authorities to submit it by Monday.
