Bengaluru Jail Birthday Video: Questions on law and order inside jails rose after a video of a rowdy celebrating his birthday behind bars went viral. The video clip originating from Bengaluru’s Parappana Agrahara Central Prison sparked outrage and triggered a probe as it showed an undertrial prisoner throwing himself a birthday party inside the high-security prison.

The viral video features a rowdy sheeter, Srinivasa, alias ‘Gubbachhi Seena’, who is currently in jail for allegedly murdering a rival earlier this year, as per a social media post.   In the clip, which is doing rounds on the internet, Seena is seen wearing a garland of apples with fellow inmates around him and cutting the birthday cake with a knife as he celebrates the occasion with full flair.
