Murder Convict Swallows Mobile Phone to Escape Detection in Karnataka Jail

Bengaluru: A 38-year-old murder convict, Parshuram, lodged in Karnataka’s Shivamogga jail swallowed a mobile phone to escape from the regular prison checks by the jail officials.

According to a report in The Indian Express, surgery was conducted to remove the mobile phone from the prisoner’s stomach as he suffered a severe stomachache.

He was taken to the hospital in McGann Teaching District Hospital of Shivamogga and was later operated at Bengaluru’s Victoria Hospital for surgery.

After a 75-minute critical surgery, a Chinese keypad mobile phone was found inside his pylorus at the beginning of the small intestine, which was removed.

Parushuram carried the mobile phone inside his body for almost 20 days.

Meanwhile, police registered a case against Parashuram for smuggling a mobile phone into jail.
