        Patna, (Bihar Times):   An under-trial prisoner, Munna
    Singh, was killed in a bomb blast inside the   Motihari
    jail on Saturday.
 Reports said that the rival criminals   triggered blast
    to settle the score with Munna Singh. The murder   was
    carried out to avenge the murder of another alleged
    criminal, Chote   Lal Sahni, while being produced before
    the Motihari district court as an   undertrial prisoner
    last year.

         The blast inside the jail exposed the   security inside
    the jail. Authorities are silent on the issue of howthe   bomb was smuggled inside the prison. An enquiry
    has been ordered in this   regard.
 
 Incidentally, the murder took place in the jail, only
    500   metres away from the local Gandhi Maidan where the
    state governor, R S Gavai,   was inaugurating Motihari
    Sanskritik Mahotsava.
