The two escapees were identified as Upendra Yadav alias Bauna and Munarik Yadav who were arrested from Babhna village late last night in connection with a truck loot case, Superintendent of Police Aditya Kumar said.
The police started conducting raids after sealing the borders, the SP said adding, Upendra Yadav has been re-arrested while police were conducting raids to nab Munarik Yadav.
The incident occurred when they came out of the police lock up to attend the call of nature in the morning, but the duo tricked the police and managed to flee, the SP said adding, action would be taken against erring police officials if they were involved in the incident.
Shatrughan alias Murli, who has quit Maoist activities, has been arrested in connection with the loot incident in which he allegedly looted Rs 3.55 lakh from a panchayat sewak two years ago, Kako police station SHO Amarendra Kumar.
The former Naxalite was currently on bail in Jehanabad jail break incident, railway level crossing blast case and other incidents, SHO said.
