Naxalite prisoners’ bid to escape thwarted

Special Correspondent

PATNA: Security personnel thwarted a bid by seven Communist Party of India (Maoist) members to escape from the Gaya Central Jail on Friday night.

The police said the naxalites, led by zonal commander Kirani Yadav, escaped from their cells using duplicate keys.

When they were about to scale the prison wall using ropes, one of the wardens raised an alarm.

When he was beaten up by the naxalites, security personnel came to his rescue and pushed back the naxalites to their cells.

Enquiry ordered

An enquiry has been ordered into the incident.

Kirani Yadav was among those who masterminded the Jehanabad jailbreak on November 13, 2005 and the killing of four police personnel in 2003.
