Gurgaon: Four people, including an inmate, have been arrested for smuggling drugs into Bhondsi prison by concealing them in clothes, police said on Wednesday.
Those arrested have been identified as Jitendra, Pradeep, Vijay, all residents of Najafgarh in Delhi, and Himanshu, a resident of Jacobpura, Gurgaon.
Jitendra has approximately 30 cases registered against him related to snatching, while Himanshu also has a case registered against him for attempted murder.
Police had received a complaint from the District Jail Bhondsi, saying that recently, Himanshu, the brother of convicted prisoner Manoj, and Chetan, the brother of undertrial prisoner Jitendra, had visited the jail to meet with the inmates.
During their visit, they provided clothes for the prisoners. Upon searching the clothes, 72 grams of sulpha were recovered from Manoj’s clothes and 70 grams of sulpha were found in Jitendra’s clothes.
With a total of 142 grams of sulpha seized, a case was registered against the accused under the sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and BNS at the Bhondsi police station. Soon, the Bhondsi police arrested four accused.
“During interrogation, it was revealed that the accused Pradeep, also known as Kale, had recently been released from jail. Before his release, he had instructed Jitendra and Manoj to arrange for the smuggling of narcotic substances into the jail from outside. Pradeep informed Jitendra’s brother and Manoj’s friend about this plan,” police said.
Jitendra’s brother Chetan and Manoj’s friend Himanshu, with the help of Vijay, who works as a tailor, filled some undergarments with the narcotic substance, they added. “Legal proceedings are being carried out,” a spokesperson said.
