Moreover, Shetye had sought a transfer back to Yerwada jail and had informed her brother Anant about alleged mismanagement and corruption inside Byculla prison
Investigations into the Manjula Shetye murder case revealed that when Shetye, who was alleged beaten to death inside Byculla prison in June, was to be shifted to Byculla prison from Yerwada jail, a security management report was sought by the prison department from Byculla prison. Prison authorities in their report had stated they would accommodate Shetye and two other convicts in Mumbai jail as there was a shortage of staff to handle inmates and Shetye, who was made warden of her barracks, could easily maintain discipline.
The Byculla prison report stated that the jail had all kinds of prisoners, including those held in Naxal and drugs case, thus the prison was well guarded. The security report also mentioned that Sheena Bora murder case accused Indrani Mukerjea was lodged in the same prison, and thus there was no reason to doubt the security forces deployed in the jail.
Moreover, Shetye had sought a transfer back to Yerwada jail and had informed her brother Anant about alleged mismanagement and corruption inside Byculla prison. Anant's statement is part of the charge-sheet filed by Mumbai Crime Branch.
According to Anant, Shetye was a very sharp lady and was always recognised for her good work. She was also facilitated by Sabarmati Ashram for her good deeds. "Shetye was always into poetry and was active in maintaining discipline in jail; thus she was salaried for the same. She was also a regular yoga practitioner and was always fit and never had any ailments," Anant's statement read.
Manjula and her mother were convicted in a criminal case and were sentenced to life imprisonment and were serving punishment in jail. However in 2016, after her mother passed away in Yerwada prison, she was shifted to Byculla prison in April 2017 as she could not stay there.
