West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced the suspension of N. Kujur, Superintendent of the Presidency Central Correctional Home, and Chief Controller Dipto Ghorai following a significant operation that led to the seizure of 23 mobile phones. The operation was conducted by a state police team, which included Director General of Correctional Services Natarajan Ramesh Babu and Deputy Commissioner of Kolkata Police V.S.R. Ananthnag. The Chief Minister stated that a CID investigation will be initiated to trace the SIM cards used in the seized phones and to examine the calls made. Adhikari highlighted concerns about a potential nexus that allowed mobile phones to enter the prison, suggesting that this issue may have been exacerbated by negligence from the previous government. He expressed determination to eradicate the use of illegal mobile phones in prisons, warning that criminals are running networks from behind bars. Adhikari also indicated that similar operations would be conducted in other correctional homes across the state, aiming to address the longstanding issue of mobile phone access within jails.
