Summary:
New Delhi, Sep 20 (PTI) Departmental action will be taken against nine staffers of Rohini prison for helping conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar in running an extortion racket from behind bars, officials said on Monday.
A jail superintendent, three deputy superintendents, two assistant superintendents, a head warder and two warders will face action as an internal inquiry has found negligence on their part, they said.
According to a senior jail official, the internal inquiry has revealed that Chandrasekhar was using a mobile phone with the help of the jail staff.
He was also using bed sheets as curtains so that he would not be caught on camera.
Six jail officials of Rohini prison have already been suspended in this connection.
Chandrasekhar was lodged in Tihar jail after getting arrested in April 2017 from a hotel here in the EC bribery case.
