Bengaluru Police Seek Body Warrants to Probe Jail Mobile Racket

Bengaluru Police Seek Body Warrants to Probe Jail Mobile Racket

The Bengaluru police have found a lot of mobile phones inside the Parappana Agrahara Central Prison, which is not allowed.

They have caught 127 phones in two months and made 25 official reports.

The police think some prisoners, like Bonda Manja, are running a secret phone business from inside the jail.

They even caught a woman trying to sneak a phone into the prison.

The police are now using special permits to question the prisoners and are checking the phones to find out who is helping them.

The prison is also adding more security, like drones, to stop this from happening again.

Some people living near the prison say the signal blockers inside the jail are making their phones not work, which is causing problems for them.
