31 Inmates Booked Following Kapurthala Jail Riot; State Inquiry Ordered
An FIR has been filed against 31 inmates involved in a riot at Kapurthala Central Jail on May 23-24, marked by arson, vandalism, and live video recordings. The main accused, including Gurpartap Singh, was previously involved in a 2024 Gurdaspur jail riot.
