Smack recovered from jail inmate
Ludhiana: Surprise checking conducted in Ludhiana Central Jail by jail staff led to the recovery of smack from an inmate. The jail inmate, identified as Lakha Singh, was booked in a case under the NDPS Act and Prison Act. Investigation officer Assistant Superintendent of the jail Harbans Singh said on Thursday, to check the possession of banned things with the jail inmates, a surprise checking was conducted in the barracks and even the belongings of the inmates were checked, which led to the recovery of 0.210 mg of smack from inmate Lakha Singh. Jail officials said the Jail Department would conduct a probe to find out the way which facilitated the delivery of smack inside the jail. Officials said if the drug was not supplied from outside, there is a possibility that some known person of the inmate could have thrown the drug inside the jail from the outer wall. A few weeks back, jail staff had also nabbed a person roaming near the jail with drugs as he was about to throw a packet inside the jail. TNS
