Notorious Criminal Recaptured After Dramatic Jailbreak
The Chandigarh Police on Sunday, April 20, 2025, successfully apprehended Rintu (27), a notorious criminal, two days after his daring escape from police custody. Rintu, a resident of Phase 2, Ram Darbar, had fled while being transported from Mohali District Court back to Burail Jail.
He had been taken to the court for a hearing related to a murder case. The recapture follows a swift and intensive manhunt launched immediately after his escape.
The details of the recapture remain scarce, but police sources confirm his rearrest. This incident raises serious questions about security protocols during prisoner transportation.
The escape and subsequent recapture highlight critical lapses in the UT Police’s security arrangements, demanding a thorough investigation and systemic reforms to prevent future incidents. This case underscores the need for enhanced training and stricter protocols for handling high-risk prisoners.
