Warder arrested for trying to smuggle narcotics inside Bengaluru Central Prison
Bengaluru (PTI): A warder of the Bengaluru Central Prison has been arrested for allegedly attempting to smuggle cigarettes and a narcotic substance into the jail by concealing them in his undergarments.
Rahul Patil, posted as a warder at the high-security facility, was detained on Friday evening at the main entrance after Karnataka State Industrial Security Force (KSISF) personnel grew suspicious during frisking when the door-frame metal detector began beeping repeatedly.
A subsequent physical check led to the recovery of two cigarette packets and a narcotic substance, officials said.
Prison Superintendent Paramesh filed a complaint with the police and placed Patil under suspension immediately. The Parappana Agrahara police have registered a case.
