Gwalior, Aug 4 (IANS) An alleged video showing several youths with a jail inmate of Gwalior Central jail in Madhya Pradesh has gone viral on the social media, which has exposed the security apparatus in the jail. Following the incident, the Jail Superintendent Manoj Sahu has ordered a probe into the matter.

Picture and video were taken despite there are three prison guards or security personnel deployed inside the visitors room.
