Three prison guards were suspended and show-cause notices issued to others on Wednesday following the escape of four death row convicts from the Bogura district jail.
Bogura district administrator Saiful Islam confirmed that measures have been taken in response to the incident. He said that while he is aware of these actions, this matter does not fall under his jurisdiction but is the responsibility of the higher authorities in the prison department.
The jailbreak occurred in the early hours of June 26, when the convicts escaped from the rooftop of the condemned cell. Despite the serious breach in security, Jail Superintendent Monir Hossen was unavailable for comment.
Authorities swiftly acted and arrested the escaped convicts later that day near the Chelopara Bridge area.
