In a significant security lapse, Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Prem Chand Bairwa has reportedly been threatened with his life by individuals allegedly communicating from within the Jaipur Central Jail. Authorities have moved swiftly, detaining three suspects linked to the incident, a police official confirmed.

This was stated by DGP Utkal Ranjan Sahoo, who cited 'deficiency in the system at the lower level' as a contributing factor to the issue.
