2 inmates escape from most secure Delhi jail

Two prisoners escaped from India鈥檚 most secure jail in New Delhi by digging a tunnel under a wall and scaling another in a daring dash for freedom, an official and media reports said yesterday.

The pair escaped on the weekend from Tihar jail, Asia鈥檚 largest, in what appeared to be a carefully prepared prison break that authorities are still piecing together.

One of the two, identified only as Faizan and Javed, who had been awaiting trial on burglary charges, was recaptured on Sunday and was being questioned.

Authorities ordered an investigation yesterday into how they managed to slip past scores of armed guards and electronic surveillance.
