The city police have launched a massive manhunt for serial rapist Jaishankar, who escaped from the Bangalore central prison by scaling a 30-ft.-high wall in the wee hours of Monday.
Apart from sounding high alert at the entry and exit points of the city, the police are also searching for him in hotels, lodges and isolated places, where he could have taken shelter.
Since Jaishankar sustained severe injuries during the escape, hospitals, clinics and even quacks operating in and around the city have been alerted to look out for him.
