Inmate Yogesh Charanvasi’s online book, released in January 2026, alleges the presence of branded clothing, mobile phones and a gangster network inside Ajmer’s high‑security prison, prompting widespread debate.
Ajmer’s high‑security prison has become the focus of public attention after inmate Yogesh Charanvasi uploaded a book titled “Jail Me Branded Kafan” on the internet in January 2026. The manuscript, written from inside the facility, details his observations of daily life behind bars.
The author claims that the jail houses a range of contraband, including branded garments and mobile phones, and that an organized network of gang members operates within its walls. These allegations suggest a breach of security protocols in a prison meant for the most dangerous offenders.
The book’s release has sparked a wave of commentary across media outlets and social platforms, with legal experts and prison officials calling for a thorough review of the jail’s internal controls. Civil society groups have also demanded transparency regarding the alleged illicit activities.
Ajmer’s authorities have acknowledged the concerns and indicated that an internal audit will be initiated to verify the claims. The outcome of this inquiry could shape future policies on inmate monitoring and contraband prevention in Rajasthan’s correctional system.
