District Jail Superintendent Shaifali Tiwari told dna that after escape of SIMI activists from Khandwa jail, we had urged city police to provide force for a thorough searching in all the barracks of jail here. A team of police led by a reserve inspector from DRP searched each nuke and corner of all the barracks and jail premises for over three hours in the morning.

Over 50 sharpened objects made from tins of colgate tooth powder and broken piece of iron sheet, Rs 1200 and some charred edible items were recovered during marathon searching, she added.

These sharp objects were often used for attacking rival inmates at jail premises and during court hearing.

Jail headquarters were instructed to beef up security as two SIMI activists who were lodged in Khandwa Jail along with six escaped inmates, were again sent here, Tiwari added.

Presently, there are 786 inmates lodged in different cells in the district jail while the capacity is 480, she said, adding, however, some of the inmates from Barwani district would be sent there as district jail of Barwani was given title of Central Jail and equipped with the upgraded facilities.
