Belagavi: This was no haul of peanut proportions, it was a full sack of groundnuts stuffed with ganja which officials at the Hindalga prison in Belagavi recovered from the wife of one of the jail inmates! There have been cases of drugs and alcohol finding their way into the prison. But there has been nothing of this kind, said prison DIG T.P. Shesha.
The women had handed over a bag full of groundnuts to the prison guards during her visit to the jail a few days ago, requesting them to give it to her husband. A suspicious guard took some groundnuts and removed the shell to find to his shock, the ganja stuffed inside after the nuts had been taken out.
The woman had painstakenly peeled the groundnuts, stuffed ganja inside before pasting the shells back together to make them look perfect.
