more-inAuthorities of the Central Prison in Puzhal have denied the allegations made by the recently-released British sailors that they were shabbily treated during their incarceration. The six Britons were lodged in Central Prison for four years until they were released last month after the Madras High Court set aside their convictions. Denying the prisoners’ allegations, a prison staff in Central Prison said, “We were shocked to hear the prisoners’ allegation which are contrary to the truth. Adequate medical care was given to them, said a prison staff. Neither cockroaches nor rats have a free run inside the premises, as alleged by the prisoner,” said the prison staff.
