Eight inmates break out of juvenile home
They enact a fake fight to divert staff’s attention
In a typical filmy style operation, eight boys in conflict with law (CCL), who were housed in the government special home for boys (Juvenile home for reformation) at Kaisarnagar cross roads, Gajularamaram, escaped by removing the classroom’s window grills during the milk break around 11.45 am on Tuesday.
According to Suraram police, one of them reportedly diverted the attention of a staff member and managed to escape by removing the grilles. Seven others followed him and they vanished into the streets.
Meanwhile, around 00:45 am on Wednesday, the Suraram police received a complaint in English from D. Sangameswar, superintendent of the home. In his complaint, he stated that they were detained by Chandrayangutta, Hussainialam police, recently.
They were involved in grave house-breaking and property offences in different police stations limits in the twin cities. Sangemeshwar stated that he had received information from one of the supervisors, Narsing Rao, who was on duty in the classroom during the milk break, when one of them pushed him aside and escaped as did seven others.
The guards tried to catch them but failed. They contacted parents of the eight asking them to bring the children if they went home.
The plan of escape was preplanned and timed to the milk break. The home warden was surprised when he came to know the modus operandi. They split into two groups. While one group broke the glasses and the warden went to pacify them, the other group removed the window grills and jumped out, police sources said.
The juvenile home had 32 CCL inmates, police said.
“We have formed special teams to get them. We are going through CCTV footage in Khaisarnagar and Gajularamaram. Their parents have been told to bring the children back if they go home,” K. Venkatesham, Suraram inspector said.
