Five out of six mobile phones are mini phones of a specific brand ‘Kechaoda mobile’. According to the jail officials the mini mobile phones are less than 7 cm in length and 3 cm in width. The mobile phone is so small in size that the inmates used to hide it in the cracks of the walls when the jail staff conducted a surprise check.
