A 32-year-old undertrial at the Yerawada Central Prison suffered a severe injury on the head after he was attacked with a sharp piece of tin sheet during a fight among the inmates over an old dispute.
The incident took place on May 2 afternoon near the main gate of Tilak yard of the Yerawada Central Prison. The injured inmate — identified as Suresh Baliram Dayalu (32) — suffered a cut injury on the head and required stitches, said a police officer.
Based on a complaint by a prison officer, an FIR was registered, and undertrial inmates Aslam Mujavar, Siddharth Yampure, Ajay Paigude, and Saurabh Sabale were booked on the charges of voluntarily causing hurt with a dangerous weapon.
“The four inmates attacked Dayalu as a fallout of an old dispute. Three of the accused initially thrashed Dayalu, and Mujavar attacked him with a piece of tin sheet from an old box. Dayalu suffered injury on the head,” said a police officer.
