Morigaon: On October 13, the body of Abdul Rashid, one of five prisoners who escaped from Morigaon jail, was discovered in a pond at Lahorighat, Assam. Rashid, who had broken out on the night of October 10, was found after local residents alerted law enforcement upon spotting his body in a nearby beel (wetland).
Authorities are on high alert as the four other escapees remain at large, and efforts are being intensified to locate and apprehend them. The jailbreak has triggered a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the escape, with officials working to determine whether Rashid’s death resulted from an accident, foul play, or other factors.
Further details are awaited as the investigation progresses.
