Chhatarpur (Madhya Pradesh): A woman prisoner fooled the guard and escaped from Chhatarpur district hospital on Wednesday. She went to the bathroom and using a pipe for support, she jumped out of the window.
The CCTV footage shows her running from the gate of the district hospital. The incident took place at 7 AM in the morning.
According to the jailer, prisoner Ritu Jatav was admitted to the maternity ward of the hospital as she was not well. A female guard from the jail was assigned the duty. Ritu went to the bathroom of the labor room and did not come out for a long time. When the guard checked, she was not there.
