| [Dawn] The Kohat police has established several new checkpoints at various places on its borders with Bannu and Hangu for the arrest of prisoners who beat feet from Bannu central jail on early Sunday. The police said that according to information received by the regional police headquarters in Kohat, about 384 prisoners had beat feet from the Bannu jail, which came under attack by the jihad boys. They said that police parties had also started operation in different residential and mountainous parts of Kohat and checking passengers coming from Bannu on the highways. Deputy inspector general of police, Kohat region, Imtiaz Shah had deputed several contingents of police in Lachi tehsil of Kohat, Shakardarra and Sumari-Hangu road to foil escape of any prisoner through Kohat into other districts. The officials said that the border with the tribal areas was also being monitored because some of the prisoners wanted in heinous crimes like kidnapping for ransom belonged to the tribal areas. However, the man who has no enemies isn't anybody and has never done anything... none of the fleeing prisoners has been locked away in Kohat area till filing of this report. |
