Tamil Nadu: 13 Arrested After 17 Inmates Escape From Theni District Jail
An escape that began with a feigned epileptic fit had ended, for most, within a day of leaving through the main gate. Police have now caught 13 of the 17 undertrial prisoners who fled the Thekkampatti Sub-Jail in Tamil Nadu's Theni district. Police are still searching for the other four. The latest arrests followed an intensive search of the Theni forest, where the men had been hiding. Police used aerial surveillance to track them. A drone video accessed by NDTV shows the escapees running through the thick jungle after they realised they had been spotted from above.
