Final Fugitive from Sadiya Jailbreak Apprehended, Ending Dramatic Manhunt
In a significant breakthrough, police in Assam successfully apprehended the last of four fugitives who had escaped from the Sadiya district jail in Tinsukia earlier this month. The capture of Sasadhar Deori on Saturday brings a definitive end to a high-profile case that had gripped the region for days.
Three-Day Evasion Ends with Police Capture
Sasadhar Deori had managed to evade law enforcement for an impressive three days following the jailbreak, demonstrating remarkable cunning and resourcefulness. His freedom, however, was short-lived as determined police officers ultimately tracked him down. This stands in stark contrast to his three accomplices, who were recaptured within mere hours of their daring escape.
Official Confirmation and Judicial Process
Sadiya Additional Superintendent of Police (Headquarters) Arunima Bhuyan provided official confirmation of the capture. "We have apprehended Sasadhar Deori, the last of the four undertrial prisoners who escaped from the Sadiya district jail," Bhuyan stated. "All four fugitives have now been sent to judicial custody, ensuring they will face the legal consequences of their actions."
Daring Escape Method Revealed
The four inmates—identified as Nabin Buragohain, Amlanjyoti Chetia, Sasadhar Deori, and Huntu Sonowal—executed their escape using a surprisingly low-tech but effective method. They scaled the jail's fortified perimeter walls by creating a makeshift rope from tied-together clothing items. This improvised tool allowed them to overcome security barriers that were presumably designed to prevent such breaches.
Timeline of Capture Events
The sequence of events unfolded with remarkable speed following the initial jailbreak:
- February 4: Four undertrial prisoners escape from Sadiya district jail using clothing-made rope
- Within 5 hours: Three fugitives (Buragohain, Chetia, Sonowal) recaptured by police
- Three days later: Final fugitive Sasadhar Deori apprehended, ending the manhunt
- Current status: All four escapees now in judicial custody
This case highlights both vulnerabilities in prison security systems and the determination of Assam police to pursue fugitives relentlessly until all are accounted for. The successful conclusion of this manhunt demonstrates law enforcement's capability to respond effectively to security breaches, even when fugitives employ creative escape methods and manage to remain at large for multiple days.
