Demanding bail, a group of inmates of the Jalpaiguri central correctional home in north Bengal held a number of staff members hostage on Saturday afternoon.
Senior district police officials rushed to the spot but could not enter the premises as the inmates had blocked the main gate from inside. Till last reports were received at 5 pm, officials were trying to diffuse the tension by talking to the inmates.
Most of the agitators were undertrial prisoners, officials said. The inmates separated the new and old jail complexes by locking the connecting gates.
A police officer, who did not want to identified, said most of the agitators at Jalpaiguri central correctional home had been booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
