A convict housed in Sohela sub-jail, Sourabh Sahu, managed to escape from VSS Medical at Burla on Sunday. He was admitted to the medicine ward after he had complained of uneasiness.
While three police personnel stood guard in the day, two personnel kept vigil on him at night even as one of his hands was handcuffed to the bed. However, it is learnt that Sahu managed to wriggle out from the handcuff in the wee hours of Sunday and escaped. A case has been registered.
