Jailed authority has provided a surgical chair Darshan at Ballari Jail. He requested the chair after struggling to use the Indian-style toilet due to a spinal cord issue. Previously, Darshan had asked Prison DIG T.P. Shesha for a Western-style toilet facility.
This request came after he was transferred from Bengaluru Central Jail to Ballari Jail, following revelations of luxury treatment at the former location.
Home Minister G. Parameshwara stated that the decision lies with the prison authorities. He clarified that the government will not interfere, as they operate based on a prison manual. If requests are made, authorities will make decisions according to the rules. HM made statement as jail administration had given surgical chair to Darshan, a Kannada superstar. Additionally, they may need to file an application before the court for such facilities.
