Anna effect: Prison guard exposes corruption

Inspired by anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare, a prison guard today sat on a fast outside Etah district jail alleging corruption there.

Tufan Singh, who sat on the dharna outside the jail gate, alleged that there was a large-scale corruption inside the district jail. He demanded that it should be eradicated at the earliest.

Singh alleged money was being taken from jail guards for allotting them favourable duty and also from prisoners to provide them better facilities.
Senior officials are trying to convince him to end his fast.
