Jailed former MP Prajwal Revanna is found to have a password-protected 5G smartphone in his cell at Parappana Agrahara prison in Bengaluru. The device is reported to have access to apps including Netflix, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Amazon Prime Video, along with other social media services.
Following the discovery, prison officials take action over alleged security lapses. Mint reports that the Bengaluru prison receives a show-cause notice in connection with the incident, citing concerns about how such a phone was allowed inside. Times of India reports that an unexpected inspection leads to the find and that a prison officer is suspended for failing to follow safety and security protocols.
Both outlets present the discovery as the trigger for administrative scrutiny, focusing on the implications for prison safeguards and the accountability measures taken afterward. Details about how the phone entered the prison or whether it is tied to any specific conduct are not stated in the provided reports.
