The sub-jailer of Longtarai Valley sub-jail Lalrota Darlong who still stands accused of having let three militants flee Kanchanpur jail earlier is yet again in the eye of a storm. Yesterday a notorious drug peddler Amrit Debbarma serving jail term for his crimes fled the sub-jail , allegedly in front of the eyes of Lalrota Darlong. This drug peddler had been arrested in the year 2020 for drug smuggling and sale and was in Logtarai Valley sub-jail for the past more than three years but yesterday he managed to give the slip to jail authority , allegedly because of the good relation he had developed with the sub-jailer Lalrota Darlong who remained inert even as Amrit Debbarma fled the jail before his eyes.

Sources from Longtarai Valley said that Lalrota Darlong is still facing a departmental inquiry for the escape of three militants from the Kanchanpur jail last year but and was suspended for his collusion with the crime. Shortly after the escape of three notorious militants , identified as Jibon Reang, Singhamoni Reang and Lalronga Reang who had been involved in the abduction of killing of a poor Bengali trader Liton Das at Damcherra , Lalrota Darlong, then sub-jailer in Kanchanpur had been transferred to Longtarai Valley as subjailer in stead of being dismissed from service by the incompetent higher police authority.

Sources from Longtarai Valley said that a demand has been raised by common people for immediate dismissal of Lalrota Darlong from service because of his passive role behind the escape of the drug smuggler Amrit Debbarma yesterday and three militant-killers last year. He is suspected of having facilitated the escape of the drug peddler yesterday and the militant trio last year in lieu of hefty amounts of money. The common people as well as other jail staff are befuddled by the dubious and inert role of higher police authority.
