In the eyes of law, jail is considered a safe boundary to reform criminals, punish them for their crimes and keep them away from society. But for the last few years, a big and worrying question has arisen in front of the country’s security agencies and the justice system that whether jails have really become a place of punishment for criminals or whether they have become a place for hardened gangsters. ‘Command Centre’ Has it been transformed into? Many sensational cases that have come to light in recent times have proved that even after sitting behind bars, big gangsters are running their criminal syndicates with the same ease as they used to run them outside. Sitting inside jail, demanding ransom, threatening businessmen and plotting major crimes has become a bitter reality in today’s time. Let us know in detail how jails are becoming suitable hideouts for gangsters and what is the whole dark truth behind it.
The era of crime operations from jails started from the 1990s and today’s situation
If we look at the history of Indian crime, this trend of committing crimes from inside jail is not new. Even during the 1990s, many big gangsters of the country had started targeting businessmen, builders and common citizens from inside the jail. However, due to strict administrative measures from time to time and strictness of the police, there was success in curbing these illegal activities to some extent, but it could not be completely eradicated.
Recently, after serious cases like the attack on actor Tiger Shroff have gained prominence, the debate has once again arisen whether the jail administration is proving to be a complete failure in cracking down on the criminals. It is natural for a common man to have a question as to how a criminal can run his criminal empire without any fear while sitting in a jail whose security system is considered to be the most stringent.
Lawrence Bishnoi gang and criminal conspiracies going on from within the walls of the jail.
At present, the biggest example of the criminal network running from within the jails. Lawrence Bishnoi And there are the activities of his gang. Bishnoi gang’s name has cropped up in several high-profile cases and recent firing incidents that have shaken the country. Surprisingly, the leader of this gang, Lawrence Bishnoi, is lodged in the high-security Sabarmati Central Jail in Gujarat, while his brother Anmol Bishnoi is said to be imprisoned in Delhi’s Tihar Jail or other secure locations.
Despite being lodged in different high-security jails in different states, extortion is being continuously collected in the name of these kingpins and sensational crimes are being carried out. In the last few years, many major firing and murder incidents in Mumbai and other big cities have been found to be directly linked to these faces sitting inside the jail. A major advantage that these gangsters get from living inside the jail is that they are completely safe from the attacks of their traditional enemies and the danger of police encounters, and the jail becomes the strongest shield of their security.
Old history of the underworld: From Dawood Ibrahim to Arun Gawli
This method of running a crime syndicate from inside the jail is not new. If we turn the pages of the past, we will find that the dons of the underworld Dawood Ibrahim, Chhota Rajan and Abu Salem For example, even though criminals may be sitting abroad and giving instructions for attacks in Mumbai and other parts of the country, many local and big gangsters within the country have always made jails their base.
There are many such examples recorded in the history of big jails like Mumbai, Pune, Thane and Nashik where gangsters, while behind the bars, recruited new shooters for themselves, managed extortion networks from businessmen and gave orders for murders. For example, notorious gangsters Arun Gawli and Ashwin Naik have been operating their criminal gangs from prison barracks while staying inside the country. Arun Gawli was even accused of hatching a major conspiracy to murder Jayant Jadhav, considered very close to Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray, while inside the jail. It is said that Jadhav had a role in the decision to transfer Gawli from one jail to another, due to which Gawli was angry and allegedly issued an order to kill him from inside the jail. Apart from this, gangster Naik has also been accused of ordering the murder of his own wife Neeta Naik while he was in jail.
How do gangsters get help inside jail? dirty game of corruption
The biggest and serious question is that despite tight security guards, CCTV cameras and strict rules of jail manual, how do every facility and message from the outside world reach the gangsters? A big and corrupt nexus works behind this entire system.
-
Corrupt Policemen and Jail Staff: The biggest help to the gangs inside the jail comes from some corrupt officials and security personnel. Lured by huge bribes, expensive gifts or other inducements, some officials ignore the rules.
-
Illegal mobile and communication devices: With the connivance of these corrupt employees, mobile phones, SIM cards and other electronic devices are delivered to the jail cells, so that the gangsters can talk to their henchmen without any hindrance.
-
Abuse of lawyers and meetings: Confidential messages are conveyed outside through lawyers who come to meet the gangsters inside the jail, policemen who take them to court and other visitors. In this way, by giving instructions in code words, they keep running their empire unhindered.
Conclusion: There is a strong need to improve the system
This criminal empire running from inside the jails has become a serious challenge to the internal security and law and order of the country. If strict technical reforms in jail administrations, strong jammer system and strict legal action are not taken against corrupt officials in time, then these criminals sitting behind the bars will continue to prove more dangerous for the general public. The justice system and the police administration together will have to take some concrete and stringent steps to root out this nexus, so that jail can actually become a place of punishment for criminals and not their safe office.
