The police conducted a search operation in different areas of Chaman all night on Saturday, and arrested a dangerous criminal who had escaped from the sub-jail here late last month. Chaman District Police Officer Naeem Achakzai said a dangerous criminal, Rehmatullah alias Malangi, who was among the prisoners who had escaped from the sub-jail in the last week of June.
On June 29, authorities said, policemen were opening the doors to the lock-up for prayers in barrack number four of the police sub-jail on Taj Road when the prisoners attacked the policeman. The inmates snatched weapons and keys from the officials. They also fired at the lock-up and later the lock of the main gate, and also broke the rest of the locks of the jail.—APP
