According to information obtained, the issue was identified in one section of the prison, which currently houses a total of 137 inmates. Authorities responded by clearing the area and initiating urgent spraying and cleaning procedures.

A similar bedbug problem had also been reported in April 2025 at the New Central Prison, raising renewed concerns over hygiene and maintenance conditions in correctional facilities.
