'I think this is an old video which is now being misused'

On being questioned about the incident, Jail Superintendent Kailash Trivedi said the video appears to be an old one. "I do not really know about this incident but I think this is an old video which is now being misused. We do not have any idea about the location where the video was shot and we don't even know who recorded the video. The jail authorities will first identify the people in the video and also find out when this video was recorded," he said.
