Pay to meet Tihar inmates: Operators’ role under lens over illegal mulakat charges

A racket charging relatives for legally free inmate meetings at Tihar Jail has been exposed. An inmate’s tip-off led to an investigation where undercover officials were asked for money. As a precaution, 20-25 data entry operators were transferred while the probe into touts and system misuse continues. Biometric authentication is being introduced to enhance security.
