How UP Cops Foiled Minor Girl’s Plan To Meet Jailed Lover With 10 Live Cartridges at Gonda Jail

A minor girl who arrived at the divisional jail in Gonda, Uttar Pradesh, to meet an inmate was allegedly caught carrying 10 live bullet cartridges during a mandatory security check, officials said. Jail staff also seized a fake Aadhaar card and cash from her before handing her and the man accompanying her over to police.

The girl had reached the jail on Thursday, August 6, to meet an inmate identified as Harshu Kashyap, Jailer Aftab Alam Ansari said. During the security screening at the main gate, officials became suspicious after she allegedly gave a name different from the one mentioned on her Aadhaar card. ‘Reel Ka Shauk, Real Ka Chalan’: Man Stops Bus in Agra for Push-Ups on Road, Lands in Police Custody As Video Goes Viral.

The girl was subsequently frisked during the security check. Officials allegedly found 10 live bullet cartridges in her pocket. A fake Aadhaar card and cash were also recovered from her.

The jail outpost in-charge was called after the cartridges were discovered. The girl and the man accompanying her were handed over to him along with the seized items. Kanpur: 2 UP Police Personnel Suspended After Viral Video Shows They Let Suspect Flee During Manhunt.

Girl Claims Bullets Came From Father’s Pistol

During questioning, the girl revealed her real identity, officials said. She reportedly told authorities that the cartridges had been taken from her father’s licensed pistol.

According to her statement, her father has a short temper and she feared he could take a drastic step after learning that she had gone to meet her jailed lover. She claimed that she therefore removed the cartridges from the pistol and carried them with her.

Fake Identity Raised Suspicion

The alleged use of a different name during the jail entry process initially drew the attention of security personnel. The subsequent search led to the recovery of the cartridges and other items, prompting officials to alert the police.

The circumstances in which the girl obtained the cartridges, the alleged fake identity document and her intended purpose for carrying the ammunition are now part of the investigation.

An FIR has been registered in connection with the incident, Jailer Aftab Alam Ansari said. The girl has been handed over to police for further action. The man who accompanied her was also handed over to the jail outpost in-charge after the cartridges were recovered. Further inquiry is underway to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and determine the source and intended use of the ammunition.
