According to sources, inmate Suleman suffered stab injuries. Pachhi, who has been sentenced to life imprisonment in the rape of a minor girl, allegedly used a piece of floor tile like a knife and stabbed Suleman in a fight over a petty issue.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Basavaraj and Suburban Station Police visited the prison and have registered a case against the accused. According to preliminary investigation, Pachhi was shifted to Dharwad prison from Shivamogga because of his unruly behaviour.
