00:00What kind of smuggles are there?

00:02These drugs are made from intoxicating objects.

00:06In the body cavity.

00:07Like you see smuggling at airports.

00:09They will swallow it by putting it in polythene.

00:12And then either they vomit or excrete it.

00:15They take it out through the potty and then consume it.

00:18So there is a habitual offender.

00:21He has taken out 3-4 phones.

00:24And he went inside and something happened to him.

00:27So we had to admit him.

00:29We took out the phone from his stomach through surgery.

00:38If there is a criminal, what is done to him inside?

00:41Now someone is in jail.

00:42What does he do from morning to evening?

00:44See his daily routine is

00:46We count his head at 6 in the morning.

00:50We analog him from the cell.

00:52First we will pray.

00:54Then we do yoga sessions for some people.

00:57We also do games for young people for their physical activities.

01:01And then the people who go on court protection,

01:05who have a daily schedule,

01:07they go on court protection.

01:09And the rest of the people who are left,

01:11they stay inside the jail.

01:13And we keep them open in the open till about 11-11.30.

01:19And around 12 o'clock we count their heads again and close them.

01:23And at 3 o'clock we open them again.

01:25We count their heads again.

01:27We will open them at 3 o'clock and till 6-6.30,

01:30till the sunlight,

01:32they have to take their water,

01:34they have to give food,

01:35all the things.

01:36After doing that,

01:37around 7 o'clock we lock them again.

01:40So how many types of criminals and cells are there in a jail?

01:46Not everyone is allowed to see the sunlight.

01:50No, no, nothing like that.

01:52It happens outside, right?

01:57No, like I told you,

01:59the criminals of high security are different.

02:03Their limitations are a bit more.

02:05And the rest are normal, routine ones.

02:08So I would say,

02:10hardly 5-7% are high security criminals.

02:15In which your criminal activities,

02:17like TADA, Makoka,

02:20hardly 10% are high security criminals.

02:23For them, we have to be extra vigilant.

02:25And the rest are normal.

02:27So no one gets black, dark, without sunlight,

02:31any such punishment?

02:32No, not like that.

02:33This is only in movies.

02:34And the TV that is installed in the jail,

02:37and it is shown in movies,

02:39VIP treatment,

02:41does this happen?

02:42No, see the TV is an entertainment.

02:44And those who have a good track record in jail,

02:48who do not cause trouble in jail,

02:50live in discipline,

02:52and there is no such case on them outside.

02:55Like I said,

02:56there is no TADA, there is no Makoka,

02:58there is no dacoity,

02:59there is no murder.

03:00So in those cases, we provide TV.

03:02So there are many reasons behind this.

03:04Like, the more we keep them busy,

03:06we will keep them occupied.

03:08Now all are criminals.

03:10So the empty mind is the house of the devil.

03:13So the more we keep them busy in activities,

03:17the more they remain calm.

03:18And it is not easy for us to run the jail.

03:20And this also does not come in things like depression.

03:22In jail, a lot of things are smuggled or not?

03:24Is it in Tihar?

03:25Yes, smuggling is also there in Tihar.

03:28And a lot…

03:29What all smuggles are there?

03:31These are some drugs,

03:33drugs are done in the body cavity.

03:36Like you see smuggling at airports,

03:38they will swallow it by putting it in polythene.

03:41And then either they vomit or excrete.

03:45They take it out of the body and then consume it.

03:48And there was an incident just now,

03:50we were talking about a phone.

03:52There is a Chinese model,

03:54it is such a big phone.

03:56This small?

03:57Yes, this small.

03:58Okay.

03:59It will only fit in your ear,

04:00it will be this small.

04:01Khechada something is a company.

04:03So there is a habitual offender,

04:06he has taken out 3-4 phones.

04:10And he went inside,

04:11he went left and right,

04:12something happened.

04:13So we had to get him admitted.

04:15From the surgery,

04:16we took out the phone from his stomach.

04:20We will put a blade inside the nose.

04:23How will the blade come inside the nose?

04:25The surgical blade that happens,

04:27like many times we go to the hospital,

04:30so we steal from there.

04:32We will put it inside the nose.

04:34We will put a blade around the gums.

04:37We keep it in the hair.

04:39It will be very difficult to catch,

04:40how will you take it out inside the nose?

04:42We won't have guns,

04:43we won't have knives,

04:44we won't have all this.

04:45Blades, drugs,

04:46this is all.

04:47Phone.

04:48Nothing else other than this.

04:50His thoughts were here,

04:52and his needs were also here.
