Police registered a case and nabbed Das of Chhend area on June 19. The same day he was sent for medical examination to Rourkela Government Hospital, along with three escorts. During this time, Das had asked the escorts to allow him to go to washroom and ran out of the hospital. He fled with a accomplice on a Bullet who was waiting outside.

Soon after, police formed two teams and raids were conducted at multiple locations to nab him but he remained elusive.
