A video of two Tihar jail staffers coming to blows allegedly under the influence of alcohol has gone viral online, following which the prison authorities have suspended the duo.

"Head warder Anil Upreti and warder Digambar were captured on a video fighting under the influence of alcohol following which they have been suspended and an enquiry has been set up to probe the whole incident," said Additional IG (Prisons) Mukesh Prasad.
