A special high-security block in Cherlapally jail has been allotted to Bhanu Kiran. Generally, around 20 inmates will share a single barrack. In November 2008, Moddu Seenu (the prime accused in Paritala Ravi murder case) was killed by his fellow prisoner Om Prakash in Anantapur prison. Taking this incident into account, a separate cell was given to Bhanu by the jail authorities.
Reports say, Suri's gang has pleadged to kill Bhanu. Their plans to catch Bhanu before the police could get him didn't work. As now Bhanu is in the prison, Suri's gang is using their past contacts with politicians and jail authorities to assassinate him.
