Hyderabad: Four women, along with a four-year-old-boy, escaped from the State Rehabilitation Centre in Yousufguda on Thursday.
Two of the women, aged 20 and 28, had been rescued from flesh trade recently.
The other women were identified as Mamtha, 25, and Sushmita, 20. The women took Mamtha’s four-year-old son with them.
Early on Thursday morning, between 3 am and 4 am, the women bolted the doors to all the rooms on the first floor, from the outside. They then broke the iron grille on the wall.
“The women broke the grille and entered the corridor on the first floor. They used a bedsheet to reach the ground floor and escaped from the Centre by jumping over the wall on the rear side,” said Sudarshan Reddy, a sub-inspector at the Sanjeev Reddy Nagar police station.
The women found it easy to escape as security personnel were on the front side. At around 5 am, other inmates found their doors bolted from the outside and raised an alarm, following which the police discovered that the women had escaped.
Based on a complaint lodged by Girija, who is in-charge at the Centre, a police case has been filed under two Sections.
The women who were recently rescued from flesh trade by the Gopalpuram police have been booked for escaping from court custody.
A missing case has been filed in the case of the others.
There are about 500 inmates at the Centre.
