Former Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, currently serving a life sentence for rape, was discovered in possession of a mobile phone and pen drive inside Bengaluru Central Prison.
The contraband was seized during a surprise inspection by prison authorities, leading to the filing of a fresh FIR against the convict for violating security protocols.
The incident has triggered an internal inquiry into potential collusion between prison staff and high-profile inmates, with the state government demanding a report on the security breach.
