A remand prisoner who had concealed two mobile phones in his rectum had to undergo a surgical operation at the Anuradhapura teaching hospital to have them retrieved from their hiding places.

The man who was remanded at the Anuradhapura Prisons had been taken to the Vavuniya Court to answer charges against him. He had been further remanded and was taken back to Prison on the Black Maria.

According to reports, just before boarding the bus, an accomplice had given him two mobile phones, which the prisoner had stealthily secreted inside his rectum.

The jerks from the speeding bus appear to have pushed the mobile phones further up his rectum towards the colon. The severe discomfort had made the man to strain in an effort to get the phones out. His unusual actions had alerted the prison guards whose questioning had made the prisoner tell the truth that could be told in only in the toilet. He was rushed to hospital and the phones retrieved.
