In the past ten months, the Delhi prison administration has seized over 300 mobile phones from inmates in Tihar Jail, which was almost double the number recovered during the same period last year, officers said on Sunday.

The increase comes despite the formation of a dedicated intelligence cell meant to curb smuggling of contraband inside the prison, they added.

Officers, however, maintained that the overall frequency of cases has declined compared to 2023, when over 500 mobile phones were recovered between January and October.

In 2024, with the Intelligence Cell conducting regular raids, the number of seizures dropped to around 150-200 phones during the same period, data shared by senior officers showed.
