Manhunt launched for 3 Pak militants who flee custody

Indian security agencies launched a manhunt on Sunday for three Pakistani militants who escaped police custody just before they were to be deported, on Saturday. The three militants, who had completed their sentence for triggering blasts near capital's historic Red Fort in 2000, escaped while being taken to the Guru Nanak Eye Centre of GB Pant Hospital for an eye check-up in New Delhi. The militants identified as Razzak, Rafaqat and Tariq had served jail-terms and were under the custody of the Delhi Police Special Branch when they escaped.
