Six inmates — five undertrial prisoners and one convicted person — escaped from a jail in Tripura in the wee hours of Wednesday, officials said.
A North Tripura district administration official said that the six inmates, including one serving life imprisonment, escaped from Dharmanagar Sub-Jail at Kalikapur after attacking a guard with sharp weapons.
Narayan Chandra Dutta is a Bangladeshi national who was earlier arrested in Tripura under Passport and other Acts while Abdul Pata is a resident of Nilambazar in Assam’s Sribhumi district (previously Karimganj district).
Abdul Pata was earlier arrested under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, for his involvement in illegal drugs related cases.
