Officials said, &#8216;It&#8217;s done simply to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the prison. The administration took this decision so as to minimize the risk because the number of prisoners is more than its capacity. The jailor Babita Mahato said, &#8220;Prisoners sentenced to less than one year in prison have been released following the order of the District Court, Siraha.&#8221; The Court had allowed the release of such a prisoner by charging fine in the remaining sentence.
