Dhanbad, Dec. 25: The district administration on Monday morning conducted a sudden search of the Dhanbad jail and assessed the safety of prisoners and implementation of the jail manual.
The team comprising Deputy Commissioner (DC) Barun Ranjan, City Superintendent of Police (SP) Ajit Kumar, Additional Collector Vinod Kumar, SDM Uday Rajak and other senior officials carried out a search operation over four hours in all nooks and corners of the jail.
This was the third time search operation of the jail by the district administration after the December 3 shot-out incident in which Uttar Pradesh gangster Aman Singh was gunned down in the prisoners’ hospital ward. Two pistols were recovered inside the jail two days later.

Prisoners satisfied
“Prisoners expressed satisfaction over food quality and quantity being provided to them,” said Barun Ranjan.
