TURA, Dec 2: A rape accused undertrial prisoner, who escaped from custody during transit from the Tura District Jail to the Civil Hospital for medical treatment, has been recaptured after a week from Tura town itself, late Wednesday afternoon.
The rape accused, 21-year-old Johnstar R Sangma, had jumped off a police vehicle that was escorting him to the hospital on November 26th at Reserve Gittim area of the town and disappeared despite a frantic search to nab him.
Initially, it was suspected that the escaped jailbird had fled town towards his home destination Siju in South Garo Hills.
The accused, who had completely changed his get-up and had a new set of clothes and a disguise to pass off as a commoner, was spotted loitering around the Tura Members’ hostel, next to Ringrey market area, in the heart of Tura.
It is suspected that he may have been trying to gel in among the labourers who work in the commercial trucks stationed nearby or hitch a ride out of the town since police had put up check points at all entry and exit points of the town to nab him.
Meanwhile, investigation is underway to identify those persons who helped provide shelter and clothes to the recaptured prisoner in the last one week.
