A PROBE into the Ludhiana jailbreak case where two under-trial brothers escaped from the Ludhiana Central Jail on May 13 has indicted at least three jail officials, including the deputy superintendent and assistant jail superintendent, for lapses at various levels. The report, sources told, pointed out glaring lapses in the head-count exercise at Ludhiana Central Jail. Sources said the probe report puts the role of Ludhiana Jail superintendent, who was incidentally on leave the day inmates escaped, also under scanner as it underlines that lapses were not merely day-specific, but had been “continuing” in the jail. This is how the jail administration learnt that the under-trials had escaped,” sources revealed. Sources said jail officials may not have come to know about the jail escape until May 14, Monday, but for a court hearing of the under-trials on the day.
