Dressed As ‘Vanars,’ 2 Prisoners Escape Haridwar Jail During Ramleela

During a scene where Lord Ram’s allies search for Maa Sita, the two prisoners, playing the roles of the Vanaras, went ‘in search of Sita’ themselves by scaling the prison’s boundary walls.

A video of the Ramleela was shared by a user on X, who wrote, “The incident happened last night. During the Ramleela performance, two prisoners escaped from Haridwar jail. While the search for Mother Sita was being enacted, the two prisoners dressed as monkeys jumped over the wall. Everyone was engrossed in the Ramleela, and they used a ladder to escape. Both are guilty of heinous crimes. More than 500 prisoners are already absconding from state jails, and now two more have fled. The search is on.”
