SHEIKHUPURA, June 13: The district police have failed to arrest a convict escaped from the prison here on Saturday. Ibraham Masih alias Hama, involved in 15 heinous crimes, including four murders, had reportedly tried to escape from sub-jail Nankana in 2005 but he was overpowered by a guard.

Prisons DIG Salik Majeed visited the district jail and recorded the statements of staffers and prisoners.

Meanwhile, MNA Haroon C. Qaisar and former MPA Rustam C. Qaisar in a joint press briefing here on Tuesday said the escaped convict had told the Nankana DSP that he intended to kill Haroon the former.

They expressed the fear that now Ibraham had escaped from the jail, he would definitely attack on the MNA and his family members.
