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.
