Out of the 48 prisoners injured in the violent incident in Kailali prison, Seti Provincial Hospital has discharged all but nine of them till Sunday.

However, the prison administration has not been able to return the discharged prisoners to the prison. The prison administration said that since they cannot be returned to Kailali prison, they are being sent to other prisons.

Prison administrator Jalandhar Bhusal said that six of them have been transferred to other prisons so far. Among the injured who were admitted to the hospital, three people in serious condition have been referred to Kathmandu. 10 people are being treated.

The prison administration could not return 29 people who were discharged from Tuesday to Thursday. "Except for nine people, we have been discharged by the hospital," said Kishore Shrestha, information officer of Seti Provincial Hospital, "but the prison administration has kept them in the hospital." 

Shivraj Joshi, Information Officer of District Administration Office, Kailali, assessed that there may be insecurity in the prison and said that homework is being done to transfer them to other prisons. We have already sent 6 people. We have kept others in the hospital," said Joshi. 

The prisoners were treated at Corona Hospital under Seti Provincial Hospital for treatment. Apart from that, a joint team of Nepal Police and Armed Police has been deployed for security. The prison administration has informed that the condition of the prison is normal now. 

The security agencies and the prison administration have seen the risk of an attack if the injured from the attack are sent back to Kailali prison. "Anything can happen if they are returned again," said an employee of Kailali prison, "Terror is still there." We are not able to say anything with certainty.'
