QUETTA – Unknown armed men attacked a sub-jail in the Chaman city of Balochistan on Thursday, leaving a prisoner dead and several others injured.
A policeman also sustained injuries while 17 inmates, who were sentenced for heinous crimes, escaped following the attack on the sub-jail located on Taj Road. The injured were shifted to Civil Hospital.
Authorities said that policemen were opening the doors to the lock-up for prayers in barrack number four of the police sub-jail on Taj Road when the prisoners attacked the policeman.
The suspects snatched the weapons and keys from the officials. They also fired at the lock-up and later the lock of the main gate, and also broke the rest of the locks of the jail, the Samaa TV reported.
