Patna: Authorities in Bihar’s Saran district have ordered a probe after dancers performed inside the jail’s correctional facility "for entertainment of prisoners", according to reports.

The musical programme for prisoners took place on Sunday inside Chapra jail. It is unclear whether the dancers belonged to third gender or were men dressed as women.

As reported, the state prison department has served a show cause notice on the jail superintendent and also demanded detailed information from the district magistrate and the central jail superintendent.
Saran district magistrate Deepak Anand said that a probe has been ordered and action would be taken against those found guilty.

"I have asked district officials to investigate how a vulgar dance was allowed inside the jail and the role of jail officials," he said.
