NEW DELHI: At least two inmates sustained minor injuries after a clash between two groups of prisoners in Tihar Jail complex's Jail No 4 here, officials said on Sunday.
According to jail officials, eight inmates were affected out of which two had to be taken to hospital for treatment before being brought back to jail.
