Guwahati:

Four of the five escapees, who escaped from the Jowai County Jail on Saturday, were beaten to death by villagers of Shangpung on Meghalaya’s Jaintia Hills.

Videos of the attack went viral on social media on Sunday. In the videos, villagers can be seen beating escaped prisoners with sticks and sticks.

The gang escaped from the Jowai County Jail on September 10, attacking a guard with a knife. Sources said a murder named “I Love You Talang” was also among them. The other members are Ramesh Dkhar, Marsanki Tariang, Rikmenlang Lamare, Shidorki Dkhar and Lodestar Tang.

“Six inmates escaped from the county jail around 2 a.m.,” Inspector General of Prisons Jerry FK Marak was quoted as saying by India’s Press Trust news agency. Authorities are conducting a preliminary investigation into the matter.

Shangpung’s chief, R Rabon, said the men, after escaping, hid in a forest in the Shangpung area.

They were discovered after one of the escapees went to a local tea house to buy food and were identified by several locals.

The whole village knew about it and they chased the escaped prisoners into the nearby forest. The villagers surrounded the area and, after catching them, drove away the escapees.

From the videos that have emerged, the mob can be seen mercilessly beating the escapees with bamboo sticks until they collapse.

The chief said four of the men died from beatings, while Ramesh Dkhar tried to escape from the forest.
