Bangalore: Notorious serial rapist and murderer Jaishankar had insiders working from him, when he executed his flawless escape plan at Bangalore Central Jail at Parappana Agrahara on Sunday dawn. After being produced in a court in Tumkur on Saturday, he feigned illness and got himself admitted to the hospital block. By that time, he had obtained the duplicate key of the hospital block cell, and had a pair of gloves, a long rope, a 30-feet long pole and a belt kept ready.

At precisely 4 am, one of the insiders shut off the jail’s power, alongwith the UPS, and Jaishankar sneaked out of the hospital block cell using the duplicate key. The genset too was not working, nor were any of the 18 CCTV cameras installed in the jail premises working.

Jaishankar walked along the 20-feet wall to the point where it joined the 30-feet peripheral wall having electrical fencing. He had put on gloves to avoid electrical fencing, but it was unnecessary. There was no power inside the jail.
Once he climbed up the pole, went on top of the boundary wall, and jumped out, he had severe bruises, noticed from bloodstains near the wall. He then made good his escape.

The escape was noticed three hours later at around 7:30 am, when the morning count of more than 4,000 inmates was being done.

Bangalore Police has alerted all nursing homes and hospitals to be on the lookout of the free jailbird. Neighbouring state Tamil Nadu has also been alerted.

The  36-yearold serial rapist, a resident of Panangkatturai in Salem district, TN, is a married man having three daughters, and was a truck driver.  He committed more than 30 rapes and 15 murders, targeting solitary sex workers on the highways.

He committed eight rapes and 12 murders in Tamil Nadu, and rapd 11 women and killed three in Karnataka.
A dangerous psychopath,  he escaped from police custody in Tamil Nadu in 2011, and  murdered eight women and raped six others  within a month in Chitradurga and Tumkur.

He was convicted in two cases and trial for the rest of the cases was on.
