In a first, a three-day Ram Katha event was held at Arthur Road jail, which currently houses 3,400 prisoners, much higher than its sanctioned strength of 999. Currently, the accused in Baba Siddique's murder – Dharamraj Kashyap, Gurmail Singh, Pravin Lonkar and Harish Kumar – have been kept in the high-security Anda cell.
Held from November 4-6, the programme was attended by scores of inmates, said sources, adding that even some Muslim inmates voluntarily attended the sessions, which were five-hour long each. Katha was narrated by Raj Rajeshwari, who heads a Trust in Ayodhya.
