Jail Warder Arrested for Smuggling Cigarettes, Narcotics
A man named Rahul Patil who works as a jail guard was caught trying to smuggle cigarettes and some suspicious drugs into the prison.
The prison is in Bengaluru, and it's a big deal because jail guards are not supposed to have these things.
The guards at the prison noticed something was wrong when the metal detector beeped, and they found the items hidden in his clothes.
The police have taken him into custody to find out more about what happened.
The prison officials are also checking if he was giving these items to the prisoners or if he was working with someone outside the prison.
Jail warder Rahul Patil was arrested for attempting to smuggle cigarettes and a narcotic substance into Parappana Agrahara Central Prison in Bengaluru.
Patil was detained after the door-frame metal detector beeped repeatedly during a security check on June 29 around 6:50 pm.
A physical check revealed two cigarette packets and a narcotic substance concealed in his undergarments.
Prison Superintendent Paramesh filed a complaint with the police and immediately suspended Patil.
The Parappana Agrahara police have registered a case, and an investigation is ongoing to determine if Patil was supplying these items to inmates or acting as part of an external network.
