Taking stern action against a Jailor and a Deputy Jailor, the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh dismissed two jail officials from their service for dereliction of duty. Jailor Uday Pratap Singh of Baghpat was sacked for laxity in duty. In his tenure, dreaded gangster Munna Bajrangi was shot dead inside the jail in July last year by another inmate Sunil Rathi.
