The Telangana Prisons Department has rejected allegations that the Superintendent of Central Prison, Chanchalguda, accepted bribe from a rowdy-sheeter accused in an advocate’s murder case and helped him secure bail, terming the claims ‘completely baseless, false and without any factual foundation’.

The clarification was issued following allegations by Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi concerning the functioning of the prison and its Superintendent. The allegations also suggested that the official was extending cooperation to the individual to plan further attacks.

Deputy Inspector General of Prisons, Hyderabad Range, D. Srinivas, said the department strongly refutes the allegations of corruption, collusion or undue favour being extended to any prisoner.
