A mobile phone was found after a prisoner's bum began to ring.

A Sri Lankan prisoner was trying to conceal his mobile phone but was caught when his backside began to ring at the Welikada Prison.



The 58-year-old convict was subsequently admitted to the national hospital in Colombo, where doctors managed to remove the device from his bottom.

A prison official revealed: "The man had concealed the phone inside his person.

"Unfortunately for him, the phone rang at the wrong time and guards knew he had a phone at the wrong end."

He also disclosed that the prisoner was in hospital for two days but was then taken back to the prison.

The prisoner was serving a ten-year sentence for theft at the capital's prison.
