New Delhi: Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung on Monday ordered a magisterial inquiry into the escape of two undertrials from Tihar Jail. A release from the Raj Niwas stated that District Magistrate (South West) Ankur Garg will conduct the inquiry, with a focus on the factors and circumstances leading to the incident; a comprehensive review of the security set-up of Delhi prisons; fixing responsibility for the lapses leading to the incident; and remedial measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents. Jung has further allowed Garg to co-opt officers from the Delhi Prisons, Delhi Police and PWD to assist him in the inquiry. Two prisoners scaled a wall and dug a tunnel under another in the dead of night to escape from jail. One of the prisoners, Faizan, has been caught but the other, Javed, managed to run away.
