Five undertrial prisoners made a break for it from Morigaon District Jail in Assam, and it’s got everyone talking. These guys, all facing charges under the POCSO Act, pulled off their escape late Friday night, between 1 am and 2 am. Talk about a well-laid plan!
So, how did they do it? They managed to break the iron grille of their cell and then crafted a makeshift rope using lungis, blankets, and bedsheets to scale a massive 20-foot wall. Pretty clever, huh? But this bold move has left local officials scrambling.
The escapees have been identified as Saifuddin, Jiarul Islam, Nur Islam, Mafidul, and Abdul Rashid, and they were all in for some serious offenses. Following the jailbreak, Morigaon’s district commissioner, Devashish Sharma, announced that a full-scale manhunt is on to track them down.
In light of the escape, security measures across the district have been beefed up. Officials are also investigating how these inmates managed to pull off such a coordinated escape, aiming to make sure it doesn’t happen again. It’s a tense time in Morigaon as everyone waits to see how this situation plays out.
