Chandigarh, May 24: After inmates ran amok in the Kapurthala jail due to a clash, authorities lobbed teargas shells and resorted to cane charge to restore order, officials said on Sunday.
\nWhile two inmates received injuries during the cane charge, another was hit by a teargas shell, police said.The incident occurred late Saturday night when some of the Block 4 inmates clashed over some issue. The exact cause of the clash is yet to be confirmed.
\nJail authorities tried to intervene in the matter to prevent them from fighting, a senior police officer said, adding that the inmates, however, tried to scuffle with the officials.
\nSome of the inmates came out of the barrack, reached its rooftop and a few of them even set some clothes on fire, the officer said.
\nFollowing the incident, heavy police force was deployed to bring the situation under control.
\n\u201cPolice used tear gas shells and resorted tocane charge to control the situation,\u201d the officer said.<\/p>\n

No personnel or jail staff have received any injury, according to police.
\nThe inmates have returned to their barrack, and all of them have been counted, police further said.\u201cThe situation is completely under control,\u201d Deputy Inspector General of Police (Jalandhar Range) Naveen Singla said.
\nSingla insisted that there was no damage to the jail property.
\n\u201cI have checked the jail property,\u201d he said.
\nUpon receiving the information, senior police officers including Singla, Kapurthala SSP Gaurav Toora and other police personnel rushed to the prison.
\nPurported videos from inside the jail premises showing a commotion have surfaced on social media.
\nIn the clips, some inmates can be heard accusing jail authorities of using force against them. One of the inmates can be seen showing injuries in a purported video.
\nThere are around 4,000 inmates in the Kapurthala jail.
\nMeanwhile, Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia criticised the AAP government over the Kapurthala jail incident.
\n\u201cPunjab\u2019s jails are no longer correction centres. Under @BhagwantMann\u2019s government, they have turned into battlegrounds for criminals,\u201d Majithia said.<\/p>\n
