Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Five minor girls escaped from a government-run girls' home near Teliya Pokhar in Begusarai's Ratanpur police station area on Sunday night by breaking the mesh of a second-floor window and climbing down about 30 feet using a rope made of dupattas.
- The escape was discovered during a morning headcount on Monday, after which Ratanpur police were informed and SP Manish visited the spot to question the warden and staff.
- Forensic teams collected evidence, police are scanning CCTV footage and have alerted nearby police stations, railway stations and bus stands.
- The home operates under Bihar's social welfare department with management by the Karpuri Thakur Gramin Vikas Sansthan, Patna, and the repeat escape has raised questions about security at the facility, as five girls had also fled in September 2019 after taking a guard hostage.
What to watch next
- Outcome of the police probe into possible security lapses at the home, led by Sadar-One DSP
- Whether the girls are traced via CCTV footage and searches at railway stations and bus stands
- Action against the home's management following findings of the investigation
