Escaped prisoners under surveillance
Nepal Police has kept the prisoners escaped from various jails across the country under constant surveillance. The prisoners had escaped from the jails during Gen Z protest on Sept 9.
Deputy Inspector General of the Nepal Police, Binod Ghimire, said out of the total escaped prisoners, only 8,000 had returned to the jails. Six thousands are still on the run, so even the public need to be aware of safety situation.
Security alertness is further important also because of the festival time. “Some of the inmates are notorious thieves and dacoits. They could commit revenge in the respective places against the cases they are filed. So, all sides need high alertness,” he reminded.
If anyone finds such wrongdoers, they can contact the nearest police office or phone at the contact numbers provided by the Nepal Police.
All District Police Offices were written about the inmates and their criminal records, reminding further alertness over the untoward incidents to be triggered by the inmates. Meanwhile, the Prison Management Department has asked the inmates to return to the respective jails within Oct 6, otherwise face action.
