Caught on cam: 15 juveniles escape from government home

In what looks like a serious security breach, as many as 15 juveniles lodged at the government observation home for boys in Hyderabad escaped from the home in the early hours of Sunday. A police complaint was filed later in the day and superintendent B Neelakantadhar and two other supervisors have been suspended after a video of the incident was released by media.

However, two of them returned later in the day. There are CCTV cameras in the premises and the boys are held behind bars, just like in jails. Most of them who escaped on Sunday are 17-18 years old. But they are reportedly allowed to use the playground in the evenings.
