Internet data cards, pen drives recovered from Tihar Jail

Tihar Jail officials have recovered Internet data cards and pen drives that were being used by prisoners inside the jail premises, raising a question mark on vigilance at the facility. This follows last month’s revelation that mobile phones were also being used inside the jail.

These recoveries were also made last month during a surprise check by authorities.

“It is not clear yet who was using the Internet and for how long. The data cards and pen drives were smuggled into the jail by outsiders who came to meet the prisoners. It is a serious matter because terrorists and criminals might have been using the data cards to connect with their counterparts and a lot of information related to Tihar might have leaked out,” a source said.

Three pen drives were reportedly recovered from Jail no. 2, 3 and 4 along with a few data cards in June. “These pen drives were recovered from the computer rooms and the compound of the educational area of the jails. When we checked the computers, we found that the Internet had been accessed using data cards,” the source said.
