Titlagarh: Two days after the escape of two under-trials prisoners (UTP) from Titlagarh jail, the DIG of Prisons, Sambalpur on Tuesday suspended Titilagarh Jail warden D. Dora on charges of dereliction of duty.
DIG visited the jail on Monday to probe the matter. During his investigation, the DIG found out that the under-trials escaped after climbing wall no-4 with the help of a ladder. Besides, he found the CCTV footage of the camera installed there missing.
The murder accused managed to escape because of sheer negligence on the part of jail warden.
Holding the jail warden responsible for the escape of undertrial prisoners, DIG suspended the jail warden.
Though the incident took place on Saturday night, police are yet to nab the absconding under-trial prisoners.
According to sources, the accused identified as Sumit Bihari, and Shobhavan Rana were lodged in jail in separate murder cases.
Sorcerer Sushobhan Rana was arrested for allegedly killing two children to appease God at Sindheikela while Sumit Bihari had killed a toddler by throwing him into a well on Kesinga Hospital premises.
Jailer Chaitanya Pradhan had filed a complaint with Titilagarh police station in this regard.
It is learnt that both the UTPs were very loyal and engaged in computer work in the jail.
