A few months back five Myanmarese prisoners, including three convicts, escaped from south Mizoram's Lunglei district jail in a daring jailbreak through the wall of a toilet. The prisoners escaped by breaking the bricks of a wall in the toilet of the jail’s Ward 2 on Wednesday morning, Mizoram police said. Lunglei district jail superintendent Zosanga informed that the jailbreak happened between 1.30 and 2.15 AM in the wee hours of the day.

The escapees are said to have climbed over 20-foot barriers with 15 feet of barbed wire on top before breaking the bricks in the toilet and escaping. All the five escapees were Myanmar nationals and had been booked for crimes like narcotics trafficking and murder. Of the five, one of the escaped prisoners named Lalchawimawia (24) was convicted for killing a 49-year-old woman in Lunglei. The convict Lalchawimawia is said to have murdered T. Vanlalduati on September 6, 2021, with a machete after robbing her.
