Three Bangladeshi Nationals Escape Hazaribagh Detention Centre

Police have launched raids in neighbouring districts to recapture the escapees.

Overview

  • The three escapees—Reena Khan alias Fina Devi, Nazmul and Nipah Akhtar Khushi—slipped out of the centre late Friday or early Saturday.
  • They had entered India without valid passports or visas and were held pending deportation after serving criminal sentences in Jharkhand prisons.
  • Deputy Commissioner Shashi Prakash ordered an on-the-spot inquiry and questioned detention centre staff to probe security lapses.
  • Descriptions and photographs of the trio have been distributed to police stations across the state to aid in their capture.
  • Previous escapes in 2021 included two Bangladeshi nationals and a Myanmar national, highlighting recurring security failures at the facility.
