Around 20 boys, mostly from Bangladesh, staying at a children's home here in South Dinajpur district have escaped into the neighbouring country, sources said today.
A group of 21 boys jumped over the fence of Sobhayan home for children last night and ran away towards the Indo-Bangladesh border.
Only one of boys was caught in the hilly border area by the police, the home's superintendent Dilip Biswas said, adding that the rest have escaped to Bangladesh.
