The convict went to washroom and the policemen instead of guarding at the door went to visit the washroom themselves. As soon as Baisware came out, he enchased the chance and escaped.
The whole police department was, later, deployed after him only to fail. As he is addicted to smoking Ganja, the distributors were also contacted. It is to be mentioned that more than 25 serious cases are registered against the absconder. Thanks to Nagpur Police, he was roaming free untill teh report was written.
