The Sindh government has relieved the IG Jails Sindh from his duty and suspended the DIG Jails and the Malir Jail Superintendent after over 200 inmates escaped from the jail.
Sindh’s senior minister Sharjeel Memon said here on Tuesday after a high-level meeting that the government after a preliminary investigation report into the jailbreak confirmed that 138 inmates remain at large.
He said after the jail incident an inquiry committee has been constituted over the prisoners’ escape.
“The government has taken decision that if fugitive prisoners will surrender within 24 hours, they will be dealt with leniently. Those who will not surrender within 24 hours will be punished under the jailbreak laws and be awarded seven years jail term”, Sindh’s minister said.
