Three mobiles found from inside jail

Ferozepur, June 28, 2021: During the search operation, on Sunday, three mobiles and a case under Section 52-A of Prisons Act has been registered at the instance of Satnam Singh Assistant Superintendent, said ASI Sharma Singh.

This is not the first time, there had been number of instances when banned items had been found during the search operations from the jail inmates or thrown from over the walls, posing a security threat.  The mushrooming of high rising buildings along the jail walls had become security threat which is due to compromising with the sale of part of its land under the OUVGL scheme.  The only preventive step can be installation of CCTV cameras along with the boundary wall and jammers for which a proposal is already under consideration of the government.

Divulging with details, Satnam Singh said, during the search campaign going on in the jail, one mobile in barrack number 1 and two mobiles at barrack number 2 of touch screen without SIM cards were found hide under the bags lying outside the barracks.

The investigating officer informed that the investigations are still on.
