TRANSCRIPT
Prison Number 10:
Beur Central Prison and Correctional Home.
Day 1:
Date of Inspection: 01.09.15
Superintendent: Mr. S. Priyadarshi
In- Charge Deputy Superintendent: Md. Shamsheer Khan
Deputy Super: Mr. L.B.Singh
Number of Inmates on day 1 of inspection: 2063
Acknowledgements: Special thanks to In- Charge Deputy Superintendent: Md. Shamsheer
Khan for his continuous presence through out the 5 days of inspection. The massive task to
speaking to the over 2000 inmates, lodged in Beur Central Prison and Correctional Home,
would not have been possible without the support of the prison writers. Each one of the
Writers were helpful in their own capacity.
Special Thanks to Writers namely: Munna Shaw, Manoj Kumar, Nagender Singh, Deepak
Sinha, Ganesh Kesri, Santosh Tiwari, Guddu Kumar, Pradip Srivastav, Sanjay Kumar,
Ravinder Kumar, Avdhesh Kumar, Santosh Kumar, Ranjeet Singh and Sonu Kumar.
About CCTV Cameras: 34 cameras were installed. But they are not functioning from 2010.
Now new setup is taking place.
Video-conferencing is taking place.
About Drainage: Water logging takes place inside prison. Since the prison floor/jail ground
is lower than the surrounding areas. Thus incase of a heavy shower water stagnates inside
prison ground and takes over 72 hrs to naturally dry up.
The area behind the Juvenile/ Young Offenders Ward was extremely dirty. There was an
overwhelming odour from rotting garbage that was staked behind the ward.
About Legal Aid Clinic: No clinic operates here. Even Lok Adalat hasn’t happened for a
long time. No legal Aid lawyer comes to meet prisoners. Legal aid Lawyer is empanelled
after long time of application.

Ward 11/3
The Gandhi Maidan blast accused:
1. Faqruddin
2. Umar Siddique
3. Md. Mojibullah Ansari
4. Md. Firoz Asllam
5. Azharuddin Qureshi
6. Haider Ali
No access to charge-sheet:
They are all in prison since December 2013. None of them were allowed to keep a copy of
the charge sheet. Apparently the charge-sheet is over a 1000 pages long so lawyer asked for a
huge amount of money to get each their certified copy. One certified copy of charge-sheet
was obtained but then pages were missing from the charge sheet. It is the principle right of
the accused to have a free copy of the charge-sheet.
However, the accused persons informed that they were not aware if the court had restricted
them from having a copy of the charge-sheet but it is the prison administration that was not
allowing them the copy of the charge-sheet. It was informed that the police SP had forbidden
them from having, any document, pen, pencil, paper, as their case is under the NIA, so
extreme measures are taken and prison administration is on high alert.
No access to lawyer: They can’t raise the matter in the court as their lawyer is also not very co-operative. They
suffer the burden of the “terrorist” tag, thus the lawyer is not very keen to defend terror
accused.
Again, accused persons not only suffer the burden of the terror tag but they also have to
suffer the consequences of being extremely poor at the same time. The dual burden of being
terror accused and being poor are proving lethal. The lawyer has lost interest in the case and
does not attempt meeting them in the court. More over in the court they are so heavily
covered by security that lawyer will have to go through special procedure every time he has
to meet them. Considering the meagre amount of fees lawyer receives from his client, he
clearly lacks inclination to meet client. Neither can the accused persons afford to request
lawyer to meet them in prison.
No access to medical treatment:
Haider Ali, needs special treatment. He is suffering from a slip disk. He cannot move around,
bed ridden. He was taken to PMCH but his treatment is not continuing.
Ward: 11/7
1. Chotu @ Rajesh Kumar, in prison for 1 month, u/s of Arms Act. No lawyer. Needs
Legal Aid Lawyer.
High Security Ward:
Bindu Singh, in prison for 13 yrs, UTP, plenty of cases. List of cases in lower courts:
-Jehanabad- 18 cases, all the charges are from between the years1984-86. None of the cases
are disposed.
-Bokaro- 13 cases in total. 7 acquittal and 6 pending.
-Patna-84 cases in total. Of which acquitted in 48 cases.
-Dhanbad-7 cases.
He complained that his production warrant from other state or district doesn’t come regularly.
Even when the warrant comes there is very less time for prison administration to arrange for
his travel to the respective court. Eg: there are instances if hearing is on Wednesday-
production warrant came from court to prison on Monday evening. Again if production
warrant reaches prison on time then due to non-availability of guards he is not sent to the
respective courts.
He wants to run all his cases concurrently since they are old cases and he has been in prison
for nearly 10 yrs now as an UTP. He wants speedy disposal of all the cases.
• Nishant Verma @Rocky, in prison for 6 yrs. He has been convicted, given life sentence in
1 case of abduction and he has filed an appeal in Patna HC. However, claims appeal
pending past 5 yrs. But his complain was of another case of Arms Act, which was
charged 6 yrs ago yet not a single witness has passed. Case in Patna Civil court, he has no
idea what is happening in the case at moment.
Condemned prisoners:
• Amin Manjhi, condemned prisoner (Capital Punishment) by Hilsa Lower Court, 1 yr ago.
He needs lawyer to file appeal in HC, since he has never seen his private lawyer and thus
not sure if he has a lawyer. His family hasn’t visited him in months.
• Md. Shamsher Alam, condemned prisoner (Capital Punishment). He is charged for
serious rioting. He came to prison in 2003, he remained in prison as UTP for 11 yrs then

• Kundan Kumar, in prison for 17-18 months. Not aware of charge said he is accused of
theft. He has no family visitor and has no lawyer. Needs Legal Aid Lawyer. He was kept

• Anil Sharma, in prison for 18 yrs, thus his name should now go to remission board for
consideration. However, the problem with his remission calculation is he was in
Jharkhand prison from 1997 till 2002. IG Prison of Bihar cannot calculate remission of
prisoner in other state.
• 9 accused persons were in the High Security cell who had been transferred from Suarat
prison. They were in Beur prison past 10 days. They didn’t want to be kept in High
Security prison and also wanted to know ground of keeping them in High Security Prison.
They were all charged u/s 379/461/66D IPC. They also informed that one among them

medical treatment. They didn’t have lawyers till date of inspection. However, they
claimed that they were expecting their family members to visit them soon and then they
can keep lawyers.

yrs, in Hajipur Court. He was sent to Beur on Administrative grounds 4 monts ago but he
