10 bullets in her pocket, minor girl visits UP jail to meet lover, cops outwit her
A minor girl was apprehended at Gonda jail with ten live cartridges. She attempted to meet her lover, an undertrial prisoner, using a fake identity. Jail personnel discovered the ammunition during a routine security check at the entrance. The girl claimed she took the cartridges fearing her father's reaction. Police are investigating the source of the ammunition and the fake identity document.
Ten live pistol cartridges were discovered on a minor girl who sought to meet her boyfriend at a jail in Uttar Pradesh's Gonda district. She had arrived with a fake Aadhaar card and cash. She was taken into custody upon arriving at the jail around 2 pm on August 6 for a scheduled meeting. The girl provided a different name than the one on the fake Aadhaar card.
A jail official found the cartridges, the Aadhaar card, and the cash upon conducting a thorough search of her belongings. She was subsequently handed over to Nagar Kotwali police. The man she sought to meet was arrested in June for allegedly kidnapping the girl from her home. He is currently in Gonda District Jail as an undertrial in a case under the POCSO Act.
The girl and the accused had been in contact via social media for around a year. Police are investigating how she obtained the cartridges, why she carried them to the jail, and whether they were associated with a licensed firearm. They are also examining the validity of the fake Aadhaar card and determining how the girl was able to enter the jail with the cartridges.
