TEZU, May 28:  In a daring and  sensational  case of  jailbreak,  four prisoners  escaped from the District Jail by using bamboo ladder in broad daylight  between 1.30 pm & 2 pm  today,  catching the  jail authorities  and police  completely off guard.
Among the four fugitives, Kalaiso Mepo, Dolu Chakma and Lombu Thapa were convicted under different cases and Pritamber Bhuiya was an Under Trail Prisoner (UTP). According to SP Lohit DW Thongon,  an  FIR has been  lodged at PS Tezu and  a massive search operation  has been launched sealing  all the  exit points with    full  combing  operation  in  jungle, river sites and in and around the township. 
Meanwhile, as per sources,  the prisoners  took advantage of isolation and used  the makeshift  ladder  kept  in the construction site of the jail premises to flee.  This is not the first incidence of  jail break in Tezu, as  inmates  also escaped by digging wall earlier.
