Two inmates arrested under the POCSO Act escaped from Srinagar Central Jail in Jammu and Kashmir. Police have launched a massive manhunt and issued a lookout notice with photographs of the prisoners.
The escaped inmates are Farman Khan, a resident of Sadanpora, and Mukhtar Ahmed Gujar from Anantnag district. Authorities have urged the public to share information by contacting the nearest police station or dialling 112.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The escape from Srinagar Central Jail, one of the high-security prisons in Jammu and Kashmir, raises questions about security protocols at correctional facilities under the state's prison department. Anantnag district, where one inmate is from, has been a zone of heightened security activity since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019. This escape could trigger a review of prisoner classification and monitoring of undertrials facing serious charges such as those under the POCSO Act. The next development to watch is the speed of recapture: past jailbreaks in Srinagar have taken weeks to resolve, putting pressure on the Jammu and Kashmir Police's special operations group.
