Inmates of the central prison in Parappana Agrahara here staged a protest inside the jail on Tuesday.

They are demanding parole facility, food from outside and allowing visitations from their family.

ADGP (Prisons) N S Megharikh and jail superintendent Somashekhar visited the prison and spoke to the agitating inmates.

After taking over, Megharikh imposed several restrictions following allegations of irregularities and favouritism to high-profile inmates.
