17 prisoners illegally freed from Mizoram jail with forged court orders majority re arrested

Forged court paperwork helped them walk out

Seventeen prisoners were illegally released from Lunglei District Jail in Mizoram between January and March after forged court documents and fake release orders were used. Police later traced most of the inmates and re-arrested them. The case points to fabricated judicial orders as the core mechanism behind the fraud, raising questions about how the papers went unnoticed.
