from their respective jails. The event kicked off with lighting the lamp by the Jail

Superintendent. The stage was then handed over to Harneet Singh, Quizmaster

of the day. He started the programme by enthralling the audiences with his

witty remarks. The real show began with the elimination round to shortlist top

five teams with questions such as: "Ramakant Achrekar is the guru of which

famous Indian?" and "Which famous Indian car is known as Mehraan in

Pakistan

It was a nail biting finish with three teams tied at the same score with the last

question left on buzzer. At the end, team from Jail No. 1 emerged victorious

and a tiebreaker question was asked to decide the runners up between Jail No.

awarded Rs. 5000 each, Rs. 2500 for each runners-up, Rs. 1000 for the second
