Jammu, July 9 -- A prisoner was injured during a scuffle between inmates and security personnel inside Poonch district jail in Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, officials said.

The clash occurred when a group of undertrial prisoners from Kashmir demanded a separate barrack for themselves. Jail authorities attempted to persuade them to return to their designated barracks, citing the absence of any such provision. Tensions escalated during the exchange, leading to a brief scuffle.
