On Tuesday morning, a shocking incident occurred in Yerwada open jail in Pune. The inmate involved was Dhananjay Rajaram Dighe, who is currently serving a sentence at the jail. Reports suggest that he was struggling with mental health issues when he attempted to take his own life.
Dhananjay went to the water tank area and used a blade to inflict serious injuries on his left hand. The prison authorities arrived at the scene quickly and provided first aid before transferring him to a hospital. The gravity of the injuries was serious, and his life could have been in danger if they had not responded immediately.
The Yerwada police were informed of the incident and they registered a formal complaint on behalf of the prison department. This has led to conversations about mental health support for inmates within the correctional system. The prison authorities are also looking into the safety measures within the open jail to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
The condition of Dhananjay Rajaram Dighe is still a matter of concern as the investigation continues. The police are working with the prison authorities to uncover the underlying factors that led to this desperate act. In a separate incident, six people have been booked for abetting the suicide of a Yerwada jail employee in February.
