Delhi’s Tihar Jail is once again in news. This time, it is for the reason of Ramzan. 59 Hindu prisoners have been observing fast in Ramzan along with their 2,299 co-prisoners of the Muslim faith.
With temperatures outside soaring to record levels, jail officials say they have made special arrangements for prisoners observing Roza. According to prison rules, prisoners are not supposed to wear watches. Thus, Jail officers have also deputed to inform prisoners about the timings to break their fast.
On the Hindu prisoners fasting during Ramzan, a jail officer said, “Inside the prison the one thing that the prisoners have is time. Each of them is troubled in their own way. We saw many cases of prisoners either finding a newfound religious connection or, in some cases, losing whatever little faith they had.”
