An investigative team is gathering information on the incident from offices, barracks, and other locations within Malir Jail. Inmates are also being interrogated over grabbing weapons.

Lack Of CCTV Cameras

According to officials, one of the biggest challenges in the inquiry has been the prison’s lack of CCTV cameras.

The DIG Jails and the Malir Jail Superintendent were suspended by the Sindh government yesterday, while the IG Jails Sindh had been removed from his duties.

After severe reports of internal cooperation inside the jail system, Ali Hassan Zardari, the Sindh Minister for Prisons, instructed the arrest of Rashid Chingari, the head constable of Malir Jail.

After the Minister returned to the country late on Wednesday after a medical examination, Rashid Chingari, who claimed to be involved in helping prisoners escape, left.

Rashid Chingari Suspended

Rashid Chingari’s name came up during follow-up investigations, despite the fact that he was not one of the (23) jail officials and employees who had previously been suspended.

According to credible sources, the DIG Prisons has now been ordered to suspend Chingari and launch a thorough investigation into his behavior. The issue was recently brought to the public’s attention, which revealed the network between certain jail personnel and those in custody. The Ministry of Prisons moved quickly to remove the internal support system that was reportedly responsible for several inmate escapes after receiving the report.
