It will visit the jail and speak to the inmates who were beaten during the rioting on Saturday. The HC on Friday said that Shetye's death has raised concern over the security of inmates lodged in various jails across Maharashtra.

According to the police, the accused who have been arrested are Manisha Pokharkar, Bindu Naikadde, Wazina Shaikh, Shital Shigaokar, Surekha Gulwe and Aarti Shingane - all members of the prison staff.

As per a Hindustan Times report, it is being alleged that Shetye died after cops brutally thrashed her and even inserted batons in her private parts.

With this command, the Express penned down that she, besides keeping a vigil, also monitored the meeting time of family members of inmates.

In a related development, the State Human Rights Commission took suo motu cognisance of the matter and ordered police and Byculla jail superintendent to submit a report on the incident in which six jail staffers have already been suspended.

Sanjoy Hazarika, CHRI director, said that Shetye's death on 23 June is a stunning indictment of the "internal rot and impunity" that characterises India's penal system.

The inmate was serving the last few months of her 14-year jail term for murdering her sister-in-law in 1996.

A Division Bench of Justices R.M. Sawant and Sadhana Jadhav was hearing a petition filed by Shivaji Tukaram Choudhary lodged at the Yerawada Central Jail in Pune. She was then made a jail warden for her good conduct and made in-charge of one of the barracks in Byculla jail.
