Meraj Bageerutty takes liberties in prison

A disturbing incident recently occurred at the New Wing of Beau-Bassin prison, involving Meraj Bageerutty, an inmate known for his long criminal history. Incarcerated as part of the investigation into the murder of Goolam Khodabux in Camp-Yoloff, he was caught using a cell phone and smoking a cigarette during a guard patrol. This discovery raises serious questions about the security and management of inmates within the prison.

During the incident at the New Winga prison guard noticed during a patrol that Meraj Bageerutty was using a cell phone and smoking. This immediately aroused suspicion and a search was carried out. Authorities discovered not only the phone, but also cigarettes. The use of cell phones in prison is strictly prohibited. Despite the seriousness of the situation, it was reported that the order had been given to minimize this incident, our source tells us. Meraj Bageerutty, 32, is no stranger to the world of crime. Originally from Terre-Rouge, he is known as one of the lieutenants of Issa Bacsoo, a notorious character linked to multiple criminal cases. His criminal record is long and varied, including convictions for cannabis possession, assault, armed robbery and drug trafficking. His behavior in detention has not been up to expectations, with a history of threats and violence.
