Late night raid at Patna jail recovers cannabis, red diary
The raiding team was led by Patna’s senior superintendent of police Manu Maharaj himself.
Reports said the raids which began shortly past midnight ended at 6 in the morning during which the police recovered seven cell phones, chargers, ear phones, electric wires and cannabis.
What though surprised the raiding party was the recovery of a red-coloured diary from the jail ward of a dreaded Maoist Ajay Kanu.
Reports said the diary contains list of persons from whom levy has been recovered or is to be recovered.
The sudden raids follow intelligence inputs in the light of the Republic Day function.
All the prisoners were sleeping when the raids were launched, as per reports.
Earlier, the police had raided this jail in October last year during which the jail cell housing 10 IM terrorists were extensively searched.
The extremists are accused of being involved Bodh Gaya serial blasts and Patna’s Gandhi Maidan blasts.
