Prajwal Revanna, the JDS politician currently in judicial custody, and a prison inmate have been remanded to two-day police custody by a Bengaluru court. The custody order follows a case registered at the Parappana Agrahara Central Prison regarding unauthorised mobile phone usage within the facility.
Authorities alleged that both individuals were involved in operating a mobile phone inside the jail premises, prompting prison officials to lodge a formal complaint with law enforcement. The police custody will allow investigators to question the accused regarding the source and purpose of the contraband device.
The incident adds another layer to the ongoing investigation into Revanna, who has been detained in connection with a high-profile criminal matter. Prison authorities have consistently maintained strict protocols to prevent such violations, which are considered serious breaches of jail security regulations.
This development highlights ongoing concerns about contraband materials entering correctional facilities across the state, with prison officials implementing enhanced surveillance measures to prevent similar incidents.
