Nagpur: A murder convict lodged at open jail in Nagpur Central Prison on Monday escaped from the jail by giving slips to prison guards. The escaped murder convict, bald and wearing a blue-coloured Paragon chappal, is now subject of a massive hunt by city police.
Incidentally, the murder convict, Shamal Dinesh Siswas (40), was transferred to Nagpur open jail from Kolhapur prison on January 31, 2016.
Siswas was convicted by a Mumbai court in a case 953/2005 under Section 302 (murder) of the IPC. He was awarded life imprisonment on March 17, 2003 and was lodged in a Kolhapur jail. However, on January 31, 2016, Siswas was transferred to Nagpur jail and was undergoing his life term in the open jail.
