MSHRC Takes Action on Nashik Prison Drug Video

The Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission (MSHRC) has taken action after a video showed prisoners in Nashik Road Central Prison allegedly smoking ganja.

The Commission sent notices to senior police and prison officials for their responses.

A jailor from the prison appeared before the Commission, but the case was adjourned until March 30, 2026, as the detailed report is still pending.

The Commission is concerned about the human rights issues and the security lapses in the prison.

The incident was brought to light by media reports and viral videos on social media.

Prison authorities claim the videos are old and an investigation is underway to verify the facts.
