Renukaswamy murder case accused bypassed rules to speak to his wife, warder assisted him: Prison officials
Prison authorities found that Pradosh had allegedly registered his wife’s mobile number under another inmate’s name by falsely showing it as the number of a lawyer named Santosh.
Pradosh, a suspect in the Renukaswamy murder case who has since become an approver, has been accused of breaching prison phone rules to communicate with his wife, according to police in Parappana Agarasara. The complaint, filed by Superintendent B.M. Kotresh on September 14, alleges that Pradosh circumvented regulations by registering his wife's mobile number using a false identity, rather than utilizing one of his three permitted registrations for lawyers or authorized individuals.
As an undertrial prisoner, Pradosh had already utilized all his allowable registrations for lawyer numbers. The complaint further alleges that prison warder Mounesh H. Kori, who oversees inmate phone registrations in Annex-1, assisted Pradosh in registering the number under the name of another inmate who had already been released on July 26, 2026.
The warder's alleged actions facilitated Pradosh's unauthorized phone call to his wife. Upon learning of the irregularities, prison authorities promptly reported the incident to the Parappana Agrahara police, who are now investigating the matter and intend to pursue legal action against Pradosh and the implicated warder for violating prison protocols and enabling unauthorized phone usage.
