A prisoner named Basheer, who was attacked by the ‘Kadavi’ gang with stones wrapped in cloth, suffered head injuries.
Ranjith, who is presently lodged in Kannur central jail, is a resident of Nedupuzh in Thrissur and has more than 20 cases of violence against him.
Superintendent of the jail Baburaj said that the clash erupted around 8. 30 a.m. on Friday while breakfast was served.
In another incident, a gang leader from Ernakulam, ‘Maradu’ Aneesh, attacked a prisoner Henry Jose and both were injured.The injured were admitted to General Hospital in Thrissur and later discharged.
Viyyur police officials said that cases were registered against the prisoners on the incident. According to them, previous enmity was the reason for the clashes.
A few weeks ago, Kodi Suni, Anoop and Mohammed Shafi, the convicts in the TP Chandrasekharan murder case, had assaulted a fellow prisoner, who sustained injuries on his face.
Baburaj said that all the hardcore criminals from Kasargod to Ernakulam were lodged in Thrissur prison.
