The Bidar Police have successfully apprehended Mastan Kamalapur, the final fugitive from the recent Kalaburagi Central Prison escape. The arrest marks the end of a high-stakes manhunt.

  • Mastan Kamalapur, the final escapee from Kalaburagi Central Prison, arrested.
  • Apprehended by Bidar Police in Islamapur village, Basavakalyan taluk.
  • The accused was lodged in prison under a POCSO case.
  • All three prisoners involved in the recent jailbreak have now been caught.

In a major breakthrough, the Bidar Police on Thursday arrested Mastan Kamalapur, the last of the three prisoners who had recently escaped from the Kalaburagi Central Prison. The arrest took place during a targeted police operation in Islamapur village, located in the Basavakalyan taluk of Bidar district.

Mastan Kamalapur was a high-risk inmate, being lodged in prison in connection with a POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) case. He was part of a group of three inmates who managed to scale the prison walls and flee the facility, prompting a massive manhunt across the region. While two of his accomplices were apprehended earlier, Kamalapur remained at large, evading authorities for several days.

Details of the Manhunt

Following the initial escape, law enforcement agencies launched intensive search operations across multiple locations. The police tracked various leads to locate the fugitive, eventually cornering him in the rural outskirts of Islamapur. This successful operation brings the search for all three escaped prisoners to a definitive close.

The police have officially taken Mastan into custody and have initiated formal legal proceedings. The incident has once again brought the security protocols of the Kalaburagi Central Prison under intense scrutiny, as officials investigate how the inmates managed to scale the perimeter walls undetected.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that prison escapes of inmates facing serious charges, such as POCSO cases, pose a significant risk to public safety and undermine the integrity of the judicial process. Such incidents demand a comprehensive review of correctional facility infrastructure and surveillance capabilities to prevent future breaches.

A prison breach involving serious offenders is not just a lapse in security, but a significant challenge to the state's law and order framework.
