TV Interview of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi not from Bathinda jail, clarifies jail authorities

Chandigarh: Hours after a news channel aired an interview of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi purportedly from inside a Jail, the Punjab jail authorities claimed that it is not from Bathinda jail.

The jail authorities in a statement said, “Rumours are taking rounds that the interview was recorded from inside Bathinda jail. This is to clarify that the rumours are baseless and that this video is not from either Bathinda Jail where the prisoner is currently confined or from any other Jail in Punjab.”
It is further clarified that this prisoner is at present confined in the High Security Zone of Bathinda Jail where strict surveillance is kept over his activities 24×7.
“If any one is caught spreading fake news maligning the image of Punjab Prisons administration, action as per law shall be initiated,” the jail authorities said in a statement.
