A mobile phone and accessories, including two power banks, a charger and three data cables, were seized from Kannur Central Jail during a search by prison officials on Monday. The prohibited articles were found hidden beneath stone slabs behind the jail’s second block.
The Town police have registered a case and launched an investigation based on a complaint lodged by jail Joint Superintendent A. Shaiju. The repeated seizure of prohibited articles from within the jail compound has raised concerns over security checks.
Inadequate inspection of food items and cooking materials brought into the prison is suspected to be facilitating the smuggling of such articles.
