While protesting we all jail inmates were on hunger strike and demanded the transfer of Jail Superintendent Dilbag Singh. We also demanded health club, stop supply of drugs in the jail. We are on strike and SP beaten us to stop the protest. Instead of surrendering we climb on the roof of the jail and pitching stones on inmates.
