Suspected terrorists lodged at Bihar's Beur Central jail, on Thursday, clashed with two police personnel on duty. After this, the jail administration has lodged an FIR in Beur police station against them on Friday.

Sources said the incident took place when about 10 prisoners, charged with sedition for their alleged role in the bomb blasts at Patna and Bodhgaya in 2013, clashed with two security personnel over checking of food served to them. Senior police officers rushed to the spot to bring the situation under control.

The terror suspects, supposedly belonging to Indian Mujahideen terror outfit, had been nabbed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and have been accused of misbehaving and preventing security personnel from doing their duty, as mentioned in the FIR.

Rupak Kumar, Superintendent of the Beur Central Jail, told dna, "They are lodged in a special cell but their food is prepared in the same jail kitchen and it's a daily routine to check the food served to them when it reaches their cell. On Thursday too, the cops on duty were doing their job when the terror suspects engaged in a verbal duel with them. We have informed the NIA court and senior authorities about this as well."

Reports pouring in from Beur Central Jail stated that the terror suspects also raised anti-national slogans during the fight, however, Kumar denied any such thing. "Post Thursday's incident, we have restricted the movement of the 10 terror suspects involved in the fight within their cell. The security around their cell has also been tightened," Kumar said.

Officials said a probe has also been ordered into the incident and the report is to be submitted within three-days. Sources said that such fights happened often as the suspected terrorists protested checking of food by the guards and the jail administration was mulling stricter action against them if they didn't change their ways.
