In a dramatic escape, two Myanmarese prisoners fled from a jail in Mizoram's Champhai district, police reported on Thursday.
Officials said the women, identified as Vansuieni alias Suinunfeli and Lalchhanmawii, managed their escape through a toilet constructed with tin sheets.
Currently involved in drug trafficking trials, this escape has prompted a thorough search effort across the region.
Notably, this isn't Lalchhanmawii's first breakout; she had previously escaped from Aizawl Women's Central Jail last year and was re-arrested in May 2023 after being named by detainees with heroin.
The Champhai district notably shares a border with Myanmar, complicating the search efforts.
