New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS): Two cell phones swallowed by a Tihar Jail inmate have been retrieved from his body, sources said on Saturday.

The individual was made to undergo an operation after medical check-up at GB Pant Hospital, sources said.

On this, his medical examination including X-ray was conducted in DDU hospital, but no indication of any such foreign body was found inside his body.
