Bihar jail inmate swallows mobile phone during checking

Patna, 20/2: In a bizarre incident an inmate of Bihar’s Gopalganj district jail reportedly swallowed a mobile phone during checking out of fear being caught by prison officers, an official said on Monday.

Qaishar Ali, the prisoner, swallowed the phone on Saturday during inspection. The matter, however, came to light on Sunday after Ali developed extreme pain in his stomach. “The prisoner informed the jail authorities and narrated the sequence of events. He was immediately rushed to Gopalganj district hospital where the x-ray of the inmate revealed the presence of a foreign particle in his abdomen,” Manoj Kumar, Gopalganj jail superintendent told PTI on Monday.
