November 18th, 2010 - 8:12 pm ICT by IANSHoshiarpur, Nov 18 (IANS) Six minors, lodged in the juvenile home in this Punjab city, escaped Thursday, police said.
The accused children, lodged in the same barrack, ran away after breaking the grills. One of them is a Bangladesh national, according to the police.
“We were informed by the juvenile home about this incident. We have sent police teams at various places in search of absconding minors,” Randhir Singh Uppal, superintendent of police (detective), Hoshiarpur, told IANS.
