The breach came to light on Tuesday morning during the routine inmate count.

According to a source, Swarna Kamal Tripura managed to unlock his solitary confinement cell and absconded around 12:45 AM.

IG jail Ramesh Reddy, accompanied by the local SP and DM, visited the jail to assess the situation after the incident.
