Shabby treatment by jail staff alleged; official denies charge
Emotional scenes were witnessed at the District Jail complex here on Wednesday during the release of 21 farmers, including 18 women farmers of Yallanna Nagar on bail, six days after being arrested by the Konijerla police in connection with a case filed by the forest staff against 21 villagers over a week ago. The aggrieved family members of the farmers waited anxiously with tears welling up in their eyes even as 18 women farmers, including two nursing mothers with their months-old babies in their laps, walked out of the jail. Tense moments prevailed at the entrance of the jail as a section of the women farmers, soon after emerging from the prison, squatted in front of the main entrance of the jail complex in protest against what they termed “shabby treatment” meted out to them by a woman member of the prison staff.
