Police opened fire in the air to bring the situation under control.
The use of mobile phones is banned in Indian prisons, but imprisoned ganglords and mafia dons directing extortion and kidnapping, rackets, besides masterminding, rival gang killings and rigging of polls with the help of cell phones is not unheard of.
