Jaipur witnessed a shocking revelation as a man serving a life sentence for murder allegedly visited Thailand for five days while his attendance was marked regularly at the Narsinghpura Open Jail. Dikshant Kamra, a resident of Sri Ganganagar, was found to have traveled from October 9 to October 13, 2025, despite regular attendance records at the prison.
The incident came to light during a police investigation into a separate narcotics case. During a search of a suspiciously parked vehicle in the Jawahar Nagar police station area, officers recovered around 40 grams of opium and Kamra's passport. The passport belonged to Kamra himself, leading to his arrest and subsequent transfer to jail.
This case has raised serious concerns about the monitoring and supervision mechanisms within Rajasthan's open prisons, particularly for inmates serving life sentences.
