PASIGHAT, Jul 16: In fruition to the untiring manhunt against fugitive Under Trial Prisoners from Pasighat Judicial jail, East Siang police re-arrested Abhijeet Gogoi and Subash Mandol with the help of local villagers and youths.
While Abhijeet Gogoi was re-arrested from Jonai, railway line area on Wednesday, Subash Mandol was nabbed from Leku-Jhelum area on Friday. 
Meanwhile, OC Pasighat informed that another escapee  UTP Talum Panying surrendered before the Court personally today. 
With this, four fugitive UTPs have been re-arrested. However, a manhunt for three others who are still at large, is going on by the police and IRBn forces based in the district. The local villagers in and around Pasighat and near the Assam-Arunachal boundary including the villages along Pasighat-Ruksin Highway are also on high alert.
A youth from Oyan village informed that the village youths are also keeping a strong vigil over the possible passages.
However, the imposition of curfew by District Administration from 3 PM to 5 AM due to covid-19 crisis and cooperation of the general public has immensely helped the police as the fugitives couldn’t easily sneak out of the state.
Seven out of the 90-plus UTPs locked up in the judicial jail, Pasighat had escaped by attacking and injuring the jail guards on 11th July evening at the time of serving dinner when cells are opened.
Today's re-arrest has brought a sense of relief for many. While Mondal is associated with the case of kil ling of a Cashier of Rural Bank, Mebo, Gogoi is a hardcore drug peddler cum addict who has been associated with several theft cases.
