Two Inmates Escape from Chennai's Puzhal Central Prison in Separate IncidentsPreviousNext

Two inmates escaped from Chennai's high-security Puzhal Central Prison in separate incidents. One is 21-year-old Nepali national Sudeep Bogati, arrested for theft and lodged in the foreign nationals' block, who was found missing during a routine roll call. The other, 41-year-old Suresh, a POCSO convict assigned duties outside the main jail, escaped early Wednesday morning when guards were distracted. Police have registered cases and formed special teams to locate them. A departmental inquiry into security lapses has been initiated.
