The viral clips purportedly showed notorious inmates watching television and even using mobile phones inside the facility, sparking major concerns of security lapses and preferential treatment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The high-security prison authorities on Saturday launched an investigation after the clips surfaced. Among the mobile phone users inside the prison are Telugu actor Tarun (co-accused involved in a gold smuggling case along with actress Ranya Rao), Zuhaib Hameed Shakeel Manna (a notorious recruiter for ISIS), and Umesh Reddy ( a serial rape-convict and killer), the one who was watching TV inside his cell. News24, however, could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WATCH THE VIDEOS HERE: <\/h2>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Undated videos have surfaced showing jail inmates using mobile phones and watching TV inside <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Bengaluru?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Bengaluru<\/a>\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ParappanaAgrahara?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ParappanaAgrahara<\/a> Central Jail. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pFZK4rMR6l\">pic.twitter.com\/pFZK4rMR6l<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Hate Detector \ud83d\udd0d (@HateDetectors) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HateDetectors\/status\/1987110450803421312?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 8, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Karnataka Government Reacts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The undated videos have led to an uproar regarding the VIP treatment given to the inmates inside the high-security Bengal Central Jail. Reacting to the reports, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara told the media, \u201cI won\u2019t tolerate it.\u201d Meanwhile, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has vowed strict action against those found guilty after convening a high-level meeting to discuss the matter. Efforts to verify the authenticity of the video are also underway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serial Rape-Murder Convict Sips Tea, Scrolls Phone Behind Bars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The minute-long video features Manna, a Bengaluru resident, who was spotted sipping tea while scrolling on a mobile phone. The man in question was booked by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for his alleged links to the banned terror group ISIS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is, however, not the first time that Parappana Agrahara Central Jail inmates have faced scrutiny.
