About three inmates planned to scale wall, one failed as ladder fell

HARIDWAR PRISON BREAK

- 

HARIDWAR: Two prisoners who escaped from Haridwar district jail had hatched the plan with a third inmate, who also tried to scale the prison wall with them but failed as his ladder fell, police sources said on Sunday.

The three had planned the prison break about a week before a Ramlila event in jail which they took advantage of to escape, they said.

Police, however, are yet to find any leads on the whereabouts of the two prisoners who managed to escape.
