Over the weekend, an unfortunate incident occurred in Keonjhar, involving a convict who had been serving a life sentence for a murder case. The prisoner, identified as Paresh Munda, managed to escape from the Keonjhar jail on Saturday. Munda, who hails from Raigoda village, had been imprisoned in connection with his wife's murder back in 2014.
According to jail officials, Munda took advantage of his duties to care for cows within the jail premises and slipped away from the guards' watchful eye. The incident was reported to the town police, who promptly launched an investigation based on a written complaint from the jail officials.
It was revealed that Munda had been convicted in 2018 by the District and Sessions Judge of Keonjhar, after a thorough investigation and witness testimonies. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for his crime. Despite this, Munda had been previously granted parole in August to visit his home, and he had returned without any issues. However, on Saturday afternoon, while carrying out his regular duties, he saw an opportunity and escaped.
The jail police immediately began a search for Munda, but their efforts were in vain. They even went to his home at night, but he was nowhere to be found. It is suspected that he may have sought refuge in a nearby forest.
Jailor Manaswini Nayak confirmed that Munda had been an undertrial in 2014 and had been serving a life sentence since his conviction in 2018. The town police also stated that they had registered a case based on the complaint from the jail authorities and were actively investigating the matter. They assured the public that Munda would be apprehended soon.
This unfortunate incident has caused concern among the residents of Keonjhar and has left the authorities on high alert. The hunt for Paresh Munda continues, and the police are determined to bring him to justice for his crime.
