Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) probing the Sabarmati jail break attempt by some blasts accused, would investigate whether there were any loopholes in patrolling by the prison staff, a senior official said here on Tuesday.

"The fact that the tunnel digging work was going on without being detected for two months, there seems to be some alleged lack of transparency in patrolling and administration by the Sabarmati Jail officials which we will investigate," a senior DCB official said on Tuesday. A jailbreak planned by Ahmedabad serial blasts accused at the Sabarmati Jail was thwarted by prison officials on Sunday.
