The Prisons Department recalled six male wardens and three female staff who were assigned duty at the Mental Health Centre (MHC), Peroorkkada.

The move came after a jail warden, Vivekanandan, has been accused in the mysterious death of Bihari youth, Satnam Singh. Vivekanandan, who was on duty at the MHC at the time of Satnam’s death, is the second accused in the case.

The Prisons Dept had deployed nine of its staff members for duty at the MHC two months ago.

“It was unfortunate that a jail warden deployed at the Mental Health Centre became an accused in the murder case. Also the jails are overcrowded. Therefore we cannot spare our staff,” said Prisons ADGP Alexander Jacob.
