New Delhi: In a major security breach, Govindachamy, one of Kerala’s most notorious criminals, escaped from the high-security Kannur Central Jail around 1:15 a.m. on Friday. The jailbreak went unnoticed until approximately 5 a.m., and prison authorities reported the incident to Kannur police two hours later.
According to reports, the prison’s power supply was cut off during the time of the escape, raising further questions about the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Govindachamy is serving a life sentence for the 2011 rape and murder of a 23-year-old woman in the Soumya case, a crime that shocked the nation.
“ There is a big conspiracy, as the one-handed Govindachamy has been allowed to escape. The Kannur jail is governed by a jail committee, including top CPI(M) leaders like P.Jayarajan,
