Secondary data from prison headquarters and familiarised itself with the relevant provisions, rules and regulations of the Karnataka Prison Rules, 1974 and the Karnataka Prison Manual, 1978. Elaborate and separate questionnaires for inmates, officers and non-official visitors were prepared in Kannada. Adobe fireworks cs6 1200236 setup keyboard. The team started visiting the prisons. This can only be explained as deliberate misreporting on the part of the concerned prison officials to escape falling within the prohibition of Rule 601 of the Karnataka Prison Manual 1978.

Sasikala and Ilavarasi had a corridor to themselves in the Bengaluru Central Prison when they were lodged there in 2017; they had free movement inside the prison; and they met visitors for several hours at a time, completely against the prison rules. These were allegations made by IPS officer Roopa in mid-2017, and the one-man commission that was constituted to probe her claims has vindicated her. TNM has accessed a copy of the Vinay Kumar commission report – which was submitted to the government in 2017, the details of which have not been made public until now. In his report, the retired IAS officer found that the prison officials had falsified several records for VK Sasikala – the aide of late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa – and her sister-in-law Ilavarasi, who have been lodged there in a disproportionate assets case. Among the irregularities found by the Vinay Kumar commission are – an entire corridor with five rooms being left empty for Sasikala’s use, under the guise of providing security to her; extended visiting hours and falsification of records to cover this up; and free movement within jail premises with the help of jail officials. Why the commission report is important In mid-2017, the allegation of special privileges to some prisoners including Sasikala and Abdul Karim Telgi had caused embarrassment to the Karnataka government, then led by Siddaramaiah.

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper was to offer for the first time a selective and systematic description of the 'Zabreb Neuroembryological Collection' of human brains and to illustrate the major results of our research team. Throughout these 16 years of continuous and systematic research, we have applied different techniques for demonstrating the cytoarchitectonics (Nissl staining), neuronal morphology (Golgi impregnation), synaptogenesis (EM analysis), growing pathways (acetylcholinesterase histochemistry) and transmitter-related properties of developing neuronal populations (immunocytochemistry and acetylcholinesterase histochemistry) on several hundred human brains ranging in age from the 5th week post-conception to 90 years. All this enabled us to offer a well-documented and coherent reconstruction of major histogenetic events in the human brain. We concluded that structural remodeling and reorganization of the brain, from the transient patterns of the fetal organization through the postnatal phase of transient overproduction of circuitry elements to the final maturation, is the crucial principle of development. The combination of classical and modern research techniques applied to the constantly growing developmental collection, as well as the continuous evaluation of our data in the light of experimental work in non-human primates, has led to the discovery of an early synaptogenesis within the human cortical anlage and hitherto undescribed transient subplate zone; our results also provided the first comprehensive evidence concerning the timing and pattern of development of afferent fiber systems in the human cortex.

IPS officer Roopa, who was the DIG of Prisons in the state back then, had submitted a report where she alleged a quid-pro-quo arrangement between jail officials and high profile prisoners. The report was submitted to the then-DGP Prisons HN Satyanarayana Rao – who disagreed with Roopa – and was also leaked to the media.

As a fallout of the same, both Roopa and Satyanarayana were transferred out of their positions as were other senior staff of the jail. Retired IAS officer Vinay Kumar was then tasked to find the truth in the matter, and he submitted his report later in 2017, after which the case was shifted to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB). However, so far the ACB has not made any arrests in the case, and until now, the details of the Vinay Kumar report were not made public. Separate corridor Roopa had alleged that an entire corridor with five cells were cordoned off for Sasikala (and Ilavarasi) to use exclusively. The Vinay Kumar commission found this to be true, when they visited the prison on July 19, 2017. “The entire block of 5 cells, together with their corridor, was open to use by Sasikala and Ilavarasi alone, not by anyone else. The shelves were empty but tell-tale marks of the things having being removed from them were still there,” the report says.
