Hazaribag jailbreak: Five-state manhunt ends as 3 escaped convicts arrested

Three life convicts who escaped Hazaribag jail on December 30 have been apprehended in Maharashtra's Solapur district after a five-state pursuit. The fugitives, serving sentences for POCSO cases, used a makeshift rope to scale a 17-foot wall. Coordinated interstate operations and technical surveillance led to their capture at a brick kiln, where they were working as labourers.
