124 mobiles recovered so far during 2022

Ferozepur, April 1, 2022:  Special checking of new barrack number 3, on Thursday, by the Assistant Superintendent, Kailash, led to the recovery of one touch screen mobile phone of golden colour with SIM Card of VI operator, on the second consecutive day, from Lakhbir Singh and Sukhdev Singh alias Kala, jail inmates.

Earlier on Wednesday, despite increased manual vigil, four packets wrapped in a white colour tape containing banned items and two mobiles during the search operation from jail inmates were recovered, despite increased manual vigil at the entry points.

During the current year, 124 mobiles and various other items have been recovered from the jail premises and inmates.  Regular recovery of mobiles and banned items has put a question mark on the security arrangements at the entry points of the jail.

Both the undertrials already in the jail and one unidentified person have been booked under Sections 42, 52-A of the Prisons Act at the City police station, and further investigations are underway with Roop Singh, IO, to ascertain as to how the contraband goods were sneaked into the jail campus and also to establish any nexus between the prison staff and the under trial prisoners besides special focus on purpose of its usage.
