Suspected ISIS operatives lodged in Delhi's Tihar Jail are apparently living in terror . The high-risk ward inmates have moved court through their counsel MS Khan, seeking action after allegedly being thrashed by the prison staff. While hearing the application, the Delhi court on Thursday directed Tihar Jail authorities to take appropriate action in an alleged incident of violence against suspected ISIS operatives and other inmates. The court pulled up jail authorities and the Delhi government, saying that a functional CCTV camera in Tihar is a "non-compromisable imperative". The court noted that Tihar Jail is "a high-security zone" with an inmate population of over 14,500, much higher than the sanctioned capacity of 6,000, but despite the overcrowding, it is sought to be projected as a "model jail".
