HT has seen the copy of the FIR, in which police have also noted allegations of bribery and extortion by jail officers. A prisoner, who was released on bail the same night, told Gujjar’s family that he saw jail officers assaulting Gujjar. According to the FIR, Gujjar’s mother, Geeta, has accused jail officers of demanding ₹1 lakh as protection money inside the prison. The FIR also mentions the version of the jail officers as noted by the police’s investigating officer. In their report, the jail officers have mentioned that they used minimum force, which is a lie as is evident from the post-mortem report findings.
