| More mobiles ‘infiltrate’ into MLA Hostel Sub Jail! | | |
Early Times Report
Srinagar, Dec 26: After a previous crackdown which had led to seizure of mobile phones at the MLA Hostel Sub Jail where over two dozen politicians have been detained here, more mobiles have allegedly “infiltrated” into the high security prison prompting the police for a “crackdown.”
Sources said the police have received complaints that mobile phones were being used from inside the prison by the detained politicians even after the previous crackdown that had led to recovery of the communication devices.
Sources said the police have received inputs that the detained politicians were using the phones to run their “political activities outside the prison.”
“It seems that they are using the phones not only to get inputs but to issue strategic directives to their cadres on the ground,” said a politician in the know of the matter.
Sources said there was a possibility that at atleast four politicians still had access to the phones and that same phone may also have been shared by other detainees to make calls.
The development has shocked the police when the Bharatiya Janta Party already claims to fil d a complaint in this regard before a police station in Srinagar.
Sources said prompted by the shocking revelations the police have ordered a fresh inquiry into the matter.
Sources said soon after getting the complaint from political circles, the police went for a fresh crackdown inside the prison.
“Room to room frisking has been carried out but no phone could be found. It seems that such a device if at all there was any present inside the prison has been thrown away,” said a senior official on the condition of anonymity.
In November, after shifting the detainees from the Centaur Hotel Subjail to MLA Hostel a scuffle had allegedly erupted between them and the police.
Some in police believe that the politicians had deliberately resorted to altercation with police only to “smuggle their phones into the MLA Hostel.”
Sources have been telling police that the mobile phones may have been “smuggled” into the MLA Hostel from the Centaur Jail. A few days after the shifting of the detainees, the police had recovered mobile phones from their possession.
Police have been saying that the matter was already being investigated.
