Hunger Strike by Bharatpur Jail Inmates Leads to Hospitalizations Amid Transfer Demand

In Rajasthan's Bharatpur district, 14 inmates at Bayana sub-jail continue a hunger strike demanding transfer to Sewar Central Jail, citing inadequate facilities. Nine have been hospitalized due to deteriorating health, while five receive treatment within the jail. The inmates were relocated from Gangapur City jail on April 22 because of overcrowding. Authorities have deployed medical teams, engaged in talks with protesters, and are considering the transfer request at higher administrative levels.
