A man imprisoned for committing a heinous crime managed to escape from the jail on Saturday afternoon. In order to abscond from the prison, the rape accused, identified as Vasant, jumped over a 40-feet-high wall in Karnataka’s Devanagere. The escapade was captured by a CCTV camera installed within the prison premises.

The 23-year-old rape accused hails from Karur, situated on the outskirts of Davanagere town. The apprehension took place subsequent to a complaint that was filed against him at the women’s police station. After his appearance in court, he was detained in jail.
