Life Convict Evades Prison for 40 Years While Working as Government Teacher
A life convict sentenced in 1983 for murder was granted parole in late 1983 but failed to return to prison, living openly for 40 years as a government teacher in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. He retired in 2013 and received a pension before being arrested in May 2024. The Telangana High Court dismissed his wife's plea challenging parole restrictions and ordered improved tracking of parolees, highlighting oversight failures that allowed his prolonged absence and employment in government service.
