Kannur (Kerala) April 26 (IANS) Kerala Director General of Police (Prisons) R. Sreelekha on Thursday said she will initiate a probe into media reports on the availability of liquor inside the Kannur Central Jail.
"A detailed probe will be initiated into it -- one reason being that none of the CCTVs in the central jails in the state are functioning " Sreelekha said. "If any official is found guilty strict action will be taken against them."
Visuals aired by a TV channel showed liquor bottles dumped in the jail compound.
A good number of the inmates in the Kannur jail are reportedly Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) workers or sympathisers.
