From plane to jail, inmate’s chaos continues

Kolkata: The Barrackpur sub-jail authorities are spending sleepless nights, thanks to the latest inmate, Febles Ortiz Edwardo Antonio, the Mexican who recently sent an Indian Airlines flight into tizzy mid-air after declaring that he would blow up the plane.
Be it food, accommodation or language, the jail staff are having a tough time controlling the hot-headed inmate.
Antonio’s bail plea was rejected and he was remanded in jail custody on March 22 by the Barrackpore SDJM court.
Now, at the Barrackpore sub-jail, the man has raised a ruckus in ward number 3, where he has been kept with other undertrial prisoners. Jail officials say the first few nights he refused to have the food given to him and demanded special food which was refused by the authorities. He complained of bad food and created a scene after which the jail authorities and the warders on duty rushed to calm him down. He also got involved in fisticuffs with other inmates, and the warders had a hard time controlling the man.
