Thrissur ∙ CCTV footage as a crucial evidence proving that the riot led by Kodi Suni in Viyyur High Security Jail was a drama. Twenty-five inmates took control of the prison, destroyed the guard room and assaulted 3 staff members, but a section of the staff stayed away without intervening in the CCTV footage.
Intelligence has reported that some officers who had not been on duty on Sundays even once in the last 8 months were on duty last Sunday when the riots took place. After the prisoners ransacked the guard room, they informed the DIG office. Despite all the allegations that this was a planned drama after all the means to transfer Kodi Suni to prison were blocked, the prison department did not announce an internal investigation.
∙ It is mysterious that 25 violent criminals were able to leave the cell at the same time in a group of maximum security prison where the prisoners have no chance to communicate or see each other. Half an hour after they seized the Innergate, there was an opportunity for complete chaos until more staff arrived from the Viyur Central Jail. The inmates calmed down as if the switch had been switched on by the Central Jail staff.
∙ The mobile phone suspected to have been used by Kodi Suni and Kevin murder case convict Tito Jerome was seized from inside the cell by the staff from the Central Jail. It is indicated that a group of employees tried to cover up the incident by pointing out that if they report the phone they will be fired and it is better to remain silent. The attempt failed when the staff who came from the Central Jail did not agree.
∙ It is a mystery that despite having a CCTV camera in the prisoner’s room, the use of mobile phones could not be detected. While the body scanner check is mandatory at the prison gate, the staff did not look for any indication that the mobile phone could have entered the prison. It is also unlikely that the phone was thrown from the wall. Because a maximum security prison does not have the practice of releasing prisoners to work or otherwise.
∙ Even though it is a high security zone, the prison department did not announce an investigation into the riot in the maximum security prison. Instead, hard-hitting criminals like Kodi Zuni and Tito Jerome were quickly completed paperwork and jailed. It is unclear how twenty-five people, including those who cannot leave solitary cells, communicated with each other inside the prison and how the riot was planned.
