Madhya Pradesh, Sept 12: A prison guard who was attacked by an undertrial prisoner in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhind district succumbed to injuries Wednesday morning, reported news agency ANI. The policeman was one among the two injured in the attack on Sunday and was undergoing treatment at a hospital in Delhi.
The incident, which was caught on CCTV cameras installed in the police station, shows the undertrial prisoner attacking the policemen from behind with what looks like a stick — some reports have said it was a pickaxe — before escaping from the jail.
The two guards who were hit on the head fell unconscious after the attack. While one of them was provided medical assistance at a local hospital in Bhind, the other was referred to Delhi for treatment.

The video footage also shows a silhouette of an unidentified man who did not come forward to help the police and allegedly assisted the attacker.
In another incident, an undertrial prisoner allegedly involved in 40 criminal cases, escaped from a special sub-jail at Bhanjanagar in Odisha’s Ganjam district by scaling the wall on Tuesday, reported PTI. The police have ordered a probe and suspect the role of outsiders in the escape. All nearby police stations have been asked to maintain a strict vigil on the movement of the prisoner in their respective areas.

Itanagar (PTI): Eleven more bodies were retrieved on Saturday from the deep gorge in Arunachal Pradesh's Anjaw district, where a mini-truck on which 22 labourers from Assam were travelling fell, an official said.
With this, 17 bodies have been recovered from the accident site, Anjaw's deputy commissioner Milo Kojin said.
He said three more bodies will be brought out on Sunday.
The operation, being conducted by a joint team of the NDRF and Army, resumed at 6 am.

"The retrieval process was extremely difficult because of the treacherous terrain, and the gorge is very deep," Kojin said.
The operation was suspended around 4 pm due to low visibility and will be resumed on Sunday morning, he said.
"One person is still missing, and a search operation will be carried out tomorrow," he added.
The accident happened on the evening of December 8, around 40 km from Hayuliang towards Chaglagam in the district. On the evening of December 10, one survivor managed to climb out of the gorge and reach a nearby Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) labour camp, following which the authorities were alerted.
Six bodies were recovered from the gorge on Friday and handed over to their families on Saturday.
