In a joint search operation by a police investigation team and jail officials, six knives and 16 mobile phones were seized from the district prison here, where two convicts were killed in a clash between rival gangs on Monday.
Police, however, said these weapons were not used in the murders during the clash and search for them was still on.
Other items seized from the prison yesterday included seven memory cards, mobile batteries, sim cards, lighters, electric heaters, mobile chargers, electric wire and chilli powder, police said.
