PMK president Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss on Tuesday demanded that all the prisoners who escaped from a district jail in Theni district be apprehended and action be taken against the negligent prison officials.
In a statement, he said that an investigation should be launched to ascertain whether there was a conspiracy or a plan behind this prison escape. “Scenes of prisoners escaping from jail, which were previously seen only in films, are now becoming a reality. This is deeply concerning,” he said.
“It reflects the weakening of the administration of departments such as the police and the prisons department, which are responsible for maintaining law and order and ensuring security. The fact that 17 prisoners escaped simultaneously after assaulting the prison staff cannot be treated as an ordinary incident. It exposes a serious failure on the part of the prisons department,” he said.
