Vijay Mahato of Dhanusha, chief of Sirha Jail, and his friend Indrajit Yadav of Sirha, were drinking alcohol inside the jail. The video shows that both the prisoners are drinking alcohol and using their mobile phones while serving the prison sentence in the case of duty killing.

According to the sources, Vijay Mahato, who is currently serving the sentence in the duty killing case, is the chief jailer in Sirha Jail.

Sources claim that Mahato is in charge of running the internal administration of the prison, so he is doing whatever he wants. Similarly, Indrajit seen in the picture below is one of the Nikes. According to sources, the video of Mahato drinking alcohol inside the prison has been released while the prison administration is preparing to make Mahato the chief watchman.

25 security personnel are assigned to the security of the prison under the command of the Deputy Inspector of Police of Nepal Police. Similarly, District Administration Office, Siraha and Jail Office, Siraha also do direct monitoring. In spite of this, the source claims that there is a trade from alcohol to drugs inside the prison.

"All kinds of food available in the outside market are easily available inside," he said, "mobile phones and alcohol are common." If you pay money, you can get the drugs you are looking for . But the price is five times higher than outside.'

According to him, normal food available in the outside market can be found up to twice as much inside the prison, while the price of prohibited items inside the prison is five times higher. An ex-prisoner has also claimed that when ordering from a shop inside the prison, from salt to gold is available.

"The watchman must be near or accessible to the prison, everything in the world can be found inside," said a man from Siraha, who was released from prison not long ago, "that's a prison to say". But it is a separate world inside . The king there is a watchman.'

Inside the prison, some food cooked from home is allowed, but if you buy it from outside shops, you can't get anything. He also said that if someone buys something from an outside shop and the watchmen or the clerks find out about it, they beat the prisoner and torture him a lot.

A 62-year-old woman from the Mahara community, who came to visit her son who is serving a prison sentence, told Kantipur, "You can't buy anything from outside shops. Once, I bought my son from outside because the goods inside were expensive. Someone saw, abused my son, beat him . Since then, I have been giving money.'

Not only that, the source claims that the prisoner who is close to the watchman also pays money and goes out whenever he wants. According to him, along with Vijay and Indrajeet, Vishal Vic of Biratnagar, Vishwamitra Mahato of Siraha and Varun Mahato are coming out.

"They go out at night so that there is no noise outside," he said. Everyone is not allowed to go in and out, this facility is only for big people.'

Prison Office, Siraha has claimed that the person who leads the internal administration of the prison (chowkidar, now the original Nike) only goes out according to the need. According to Santosh Kumar Yadav, the jailer at the Jail Office, Siraha, he claims that no one came out except the main Nike or the watchman.

He claimed that alcohol, drugs and the use of mobile phones in prisons are misleading. "We keep vigil in the prison round the clock, security personnel are also deployed," he said, "even if no one thinks of such a thing. This is misleading.'

There are now 516 male and female prisoners in Sirha prison. Out of which, there are currently 19 prisoners and 62 prisoners in the prison, according to the Prison Office, Siraha. They are given responsibility by the person who leads the internal administration of the prison i.e. Chowkidar. They work according to the orders of the leadership .

"Chowkidars have created their own system in the prison, and it is up to them to implement it," said a young man from Siraha, who was released after spending five years in prison, "They are like dons". I feel scared watching their behavior. Their rule runs inside, and those who don't obey the rule are punished.'

Ashok Yadav and Gangaram Mandal of Mirchaiya Municipality of Siraha, who are serving prison terms because they raised their voices about the irregularities committed by Vijay Mahato and his group, were beaten up on October 11th.

After Gangaram's leg was broken due to the beating, the prison office has sent him to the central prison in Kathmandu for treatment. Both of them are being treated in the central prison hospital. 20 inmates were injured in a dispute inside Siraha Jail in Pushah last year.

"Everything inside the prison is done by the watchman and his men," the source said, "Sometimes they hand over five hundred thousand to the poor, and they manage everything else." No one can say anything because of the fear of being beaten.'

Not only this, the source also claimed that for calling home from the prison, money is collected from the prisoner at the rate of three to four rupees per minute. According to the prisoner, he gets at least 15-20 thousand a day through the phone.

'What is happening here, it is not a new or hidden thing,' he said, 'All the government agencies know about this.'
