KARACHI: It has just been reported that inmates who escaped central jail on Wednesday night changed their appearances considerably before escaping.
The two suspected target killers who escaped, reportedly belonged to the banned outfit Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ).
According to the CTD Additional IG Sanaullah Abbasi a shaving kit along with facial hair was recovered from the toilet. Sheikh Muhammad, one of the suspects shaved in a bathroom located next to the chamber of anti-terrorism court-III judge in the judicial complex.
He said that the these suspects should not have been brought to the central jail when the judge wasn’t present. Abbasi also revealed that the inmates probably went out using the main gate of the judicial complex.
Authorities launched a search operation in the jail early Friday morning. According to reports, all casual visits have been suspended whereas intelligence agencies are keeping a close watch on the inmates.
The two suspects who escaped, Sheikh Muhammad and Ahmed Khan Arif Manako, were arrested by the CTD in 2013 over their involvement in dozens of targeted killings.
Following their escape, 12 police personnel, including the jail superintendent and his deputy, were arrested at the behest of the Sindh law and prisons minister. A case was also registered against them in the New Town Police Station.
