The boys, who were angered over the stern attitude of the prison warden, overpowered him, covered his face with a blanket and snatched the gate keys.

The warden managed to nab one of the boys, while the others managed to escape around midnight yesterday.

On a complaint, police registered a case and launched a hunt for the boys. They found six of the boys trying to board buses to some destination and nabbed them.
