Assistant jail superintendent Satnam Singh said three phones were found in the prison’s de-addiction centre and two from the reception ward. “The phones found in the de-addiction centre had been hidden in a dustbin to evade detection, while two phones were found from barracks in the reception ward,” he said.

An FIR was registered against two inmates – Pawan Kumar of EWS Colony and an unidentified prisoner – under Sections of the Prisons Act at the Division 7 police station.
