UP Prisoner's Great Escape, Pulled Off By Wife On Scooty

A Haryana woman has set relationship goals by whisking away her jailed husband from under the noses of three cops. The policemen from Uttar Pradesh's Mathura, who had brought the undertrial prisoner to Haryana for a court hearing, were left stunned as the woman came on a scooter and sped away with their charge.

The three cops now face a case of negligence, and the police have formed multiple teams to track down the prisoner. A case has been registered against the woman too.

The missing prisoner is Anil, originally from Hodal in Haryana's Palwal district. He has at least eight cases against him in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, police said.

Anil, who was lodged in a Mathura jail in connection with a case against him in Uttar Pradesh, was recently brought to Hodal for a court hearing in an attempt to murder case against him. A three-member police team, including an Assistant Sub-Inspector and two constables, accompanied him.

The court hearing took place without incident, but little did the cops know what was in store. They were near the National Highway 19 in Dabchik when Anil's wife, whose name is not known yet, arrived on a scooter and whisked him away.

While it is not clear how she managed to pull off this feat, her sheer courage is the stuff of urban legends, if not a movie script.

Dumbfounded by the incident, police are now in damage control mode as they try to locate the missing undertrial and take him back to jail.
