Police conduct surprise inspection at colleges, recover 24 mobile phones from students

Uppinangady: A team of police personnel on Monday conducted surprise inspection at Uppinangadi government first-grade college and PU college to ensure effective implementation of mobile phone ban within the college campus.

The police team led by Sub-inspector Nanda Kumar seized 24 mobile phones from the students during the inspection.

The police while warning students of strict action if they are found using mobile phones also tried to make them aware that they were jeopardising their future due to drug addiction and irrational usage of mobile phones.

Students were asked to come along with their parents to take back the seized phones. However few students it is learnt tried to hoodwink the police by bringing third person, posing as their parents. They were left disappointed as police asked identity proofs to prove the identity of their parents.

Apart from the college, police also raided few shops nearby the college where students are suspected to keep their mobile phones.
