Manjula Shetye

The six officials of the Byculla women's prison arrested for the alleged custodial murder of convict Manjula Shetye, were on Friday sent to judicial custody by a city court. Interestingly, in a bid to circumvent any further trouble by lodging them in the same jail where they are accused of committing the crime, the prison department has sent them to the Thane central prison instead. According to ADG (prisons) BK Upadhyay, "Keeping the security of the accused in mind, we shifted them to Thane jail."
