A suspect charged with a triple murder was released from custody again within a day, authorities say. Police claim he used tactics seen on the crime‑watching program 'Savdhaan India'.
The police arrested the suspect on 12 March after a series of murders in the city. He was remanded in a local jail but managed to escape on 13 March, less than 24 hours later. According to a statement from the district police, the accused had studied episodes of the crime‑watching show 'Savdhaan India' and replicated the escape techniques. The police are now conducting a manhunt and have appealed to the public for any information. The case has drawn attention to security lapses in the custody system.
