Kasargod, Jun 22: The investigation being conducted by a team led by Kerala additional director general of police, Dr Alexander, into the Kannur jail break case has revealed that the arms recently recovered from inside the Kannur central jail, were made in the jail itself.

Throwing light on the style of functioning of the jail officials, the team to its horror, found out those lethal weapons had been manufctured in the temporary garage erected inside the prison. The jail inmates made the arms in the guise of sharpening of kitchen equipments, it is learnt.

It may be recalled that two notorious criminals, who were undergoing imprisonment relating to criminal activities, and had several more cases going on in the courts, had fled from their cell, by cutting the bars of the jail windows and then scaling the walls by removing a section of water pipeline and using it as a pole. In a raid conducted thereafter, the policemen had found four loads of weapons, which were hidden in various corners of the jail.

The team recovered more items like knives, swords, iron rods, clubs and such other arms that can be lethal, on Monday June 21. Investigations about the modus operandi of the jail inmates and involvement if any of the jail staff are progressing.
