Sources said the team of 16 police officers and staff along with two dogs including a BDDS (Bomb Detection and disposal Squad) dog and Narcotic Dog carried out the search inside the jail.
Despite having high security, the inmates, by bribing the jail staff or using the undertrial inmates as godowns, smuggle the drugs items inside the jail. However, to curb down the usage of drugs inside the jail a surprise trained dog squad visit has been started across Maharashtra jails.
The Maharashtra prison department, in collaboration with Bank of Maharashtra, has started a rehabilitation programme for inmates by providing them loans to start a trade or business of their choice.
