The Kannur Town police on Friday apprehended a 34-year-old man who had escaped from Kannur Central Jail on January 14.
T.C. Harshad, a native of Koyyode, had been serving a 10-year sentence for a drug-related offence since his conviction on September 9 last year. His escape, reportedly orchestrated with the help of accomplices, sparked a manhunt that culminated in his arrest.
Assistant Commissioner of Police K.V. Venugopal said Harshad’s paramour, Apsara, was also arrested on Friday for helping him evade capture.
