Rape convict ex-MP Prajwal Revanna found with smartphone in prison

Prajwal Revanna is a former member of Parliament in India who is in prison for committing a very serious crime.

People in prison are not allowed to have mobile phones.

During a search, guards found a smartphone in his room that had apps like Netflix, Instagram, WhatsApp and Prime Video on it.

They also found a charger, a notebook and a pen drive.

A video showed Revanna wearing his own clothes while talking on the phone, which is against prison rules.

The police want to find out who gave him the phone and how it got inside the jail.

They say the phone had been in the prison since March and someone recently changed its SIM card.

Some prison officers who were supposed to watch him have been suspended or warned.

Many other phones have been found in this prison recently, and the machines that block phone signals do not work in some spots.

The police chief says this is embarrassing and that whoever is responsible will face strict action.
