He was believed to have jumped the jail boundary wall by pretending to pluck flowers for celebration of Hanuman Jayanti in the jail, jail officials said. “We have intimated the incident to the police,” said jailor UN Patra.

The police had rearrested the duo after an encounter with them some hours after the incident.
