Kolkata, Jan 14 (IBNS): Three undertrial prisoners reportedly escaped from Alipore Central Correctional Home in Kolkata in the wee hours of Sunday, officials said.

According to reports, while counting the prisoners in the jail on Sunday morning, officials found three undertrial Bangladesh nationals were missing.

A source in Alipore jail told IBNS that after cutting their cells' bars and crossing the high boundary wall of the correctional home, three prisoners, Md. Faruque Haoladar, Iman Chowdhury and Firdous Sheikh, fled from the jail.

However, after suspending five prison guards, police have started investigation into the case while a search operation has been initiated to nab the trio.
