New Delhi: A 35-year-old undertrial prisoner, accused of murdering his wife fled from a prison in Rajasthan. The prisoner had been lodged in the Baran district jail since February 25. He escaped by scaling a 20-foot-high electric fence using cables, according to jail officials. Kishan Chand Meena, the jailor of the Baran district jail informed that the prisoner, Janved, used a cable of CCTV cameras as a rope to scale the fencing and chart his escape, news agency PTI reported.
The police said it is highly likely that the accused escaped using a hole in the fencing. Janved fled the jail premises on Wednesday afternoon and the incident did not come to light till later in the evening. “The complete count of prisoners was done late last night. Later, a prisoner named Janved escaped by scaling the wall. The authorities have been informed about the matter. A case is being registered and a search is on for him,” the jail-in-charge was quoted as saying.
Earlier, in June last year, three undertrial prisoners, who were under judicial custody escaped from the Banswara district jail using blankets. “They jumped an inner boundary wall 12 feet tall…then the outer wall of 20 feet with the help of a rope they made with blankets. They made a hole in the wall of the cell,” said the jailer.
