Patna: Acting on the inquiry report of the
principal secretary (Home) Amir Subhani into the killing of a
doctor in Gopalganj jail by inmates, Chief Minister Nitish
Kumar ordered the transfer of Inspector General (Jail) and
Gopalganj District Magistrate.
Anand Kishore would be new IG (Jail) replacing Ramesh
Lal while Pankaj Kumar would be the new DM of Gopalganj in
place of Pankaj Kumar Pail, General Administration department
sources said on Tuesday.
Subhani had submitted his inquiry report to Chief
Minister after carrying out an inquiry in Gopalganj last
evening.
The doctor, Buddhadev Singh, brother of ex-MP Satyadeo
Singh, was called inside the jail on Sunday by inmate Ranjan
Yadav who was suffering from chicken pox. As soon as the
doctor entered the jail, a group of convicts brutally
assaulted him.
Singh was first admitted to a government hospital in
Gopalganj but was then rushed to Patna Medical College
Hospital (PMCH) after his condition deteriorated. He died
later.
