Police have registered fresh cases against Sawinder Singh, Prabhjit Singh, Hira Lal, Rajeshwar Lal, Rajesh Kumar and Gurmeet Singh, all prisoners.
Meanwhile in Amritsar, a police team conducted a surprise raid at the central jail without informing senior jail officials.
21 mobile phones including androids, 310 used syringes and used silver foil paper were seized during the raid.
