Fifteen mobile phones recovered from Bihar jail
September 2nd, 2010 - 4:55 pm ICT by IANSPatna, Sep 2 (IANS) Fifteen mobile phones were seized from inmates of a Bihar jail during a raid early Thursday, police said.
Over a dozen mobile chargers, SIM cards and other objectionable items, including cash and gold jewellery, were also recovered from the prisoners of the Beur Central Jail here, police said.
“Most of these items were recovered from wards where several dreaded gangsters and Maoist leaders are lodged,” police said.
Patna Superintendent of Police Manu Maharaj said that policemen carried out raids in different wards of the jail and seized 15 mobile phones, 12 chargers, many SIM cards, cash and gold jewellery.
A jail official confirmed that the police team recovered mobile phones from the wards of gangster Bindu Singh, Viveka Pahalwan and Maoist leader Ajay Kanu, the mastermind behind the Jehanabad jailbreak in 2005.
Ajay Kanu enjoys control over Maoist activities in Bihar and Jharkhand. With the Bihar government making all-out effort to rescue four policemen abducted by Maoists, the raid on Beur jail is seen as a move to isolate Kanu.
