Solan SP Virender Sharma said the undertrial, who was brought from Baddi and was to be lodged in the Solan jail, gave the escorting policemen a slip and fled from near the jail located on the Kather bypass here. He said drone cameras had been pressed into service to trace him.

Baddi SP Mohit Chawla said the undertrial was brought for a hearing in a theft case. He said the undertrial jumped into a khud and fled after he told the policemen that he was not feeling well and wanted to drink water.
