Three officials of a jail in Dausa have been suspended, and one man arrested for allegedly providing a mobile SIM card to a prisoner who threatened to kill Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, according to an official statement on Monday.

Deputy Inspector General of Police (Prisons) Monika Agarwal announced the suspension of Acting Jail Superintendent Kailash Daroga, Jailer Biharilal, and Chief Guard Awadhesh Kumar following a probe into the incident.

Rajendra Mahavar (38), who was appointed by a voluntary organization to train prisoners in job skills, has been arrested for supplying the SIM card to prisoner Neema alias Sajan (30), a native of Darjeeling. Neema reportedly called the Jaipur Police Control Room on Saturday night and issued a death threat to Chief Minister Sharma.

Two First Information Reports (FIRs) have been registered: one against the Dausa jail inmate Neema and another concerning nine unclaimed mobile phones found within the jail premises. Mahavar is accused of supplying the SIM cards, and police investigations are ongoing.
