Assam: Prisoner serving life sentence escapes from Udalguri Jail

Digital Desk: In the early hours of Sunday, a prisoner identified as Shyamal Pal managed to flee from the Udalguri jail in Assam.

Shockwaves from the catastrophe have spread across the area. In a murder case, Shyamal was given a life sentence in 2011.

To track down the fugitive, the jail's administration filed an FIR at the Udalguri Sadar police station. To apprehend Shyamal, the police have cordoned off the area and are conducting a thorough search.

The occurrence has caused serious questions about the jail's security measures, and the authorities have promised to look into the situation and take the necessary action. Investigations are being conducted to determine the specifics of how Shyamal was able to escape; the method is yet unknown.

In a previous shocking incident on March 19, a prisoner escaped from police custody in Assam's Karimganj.

The prisoner known as Abdul Wahid was brought before the chief judicial magistrate court on Sunday, according to sources. According to reports, the prisoner was implicated in several offenses, including automobile theft.
