The duo -- Kantiyo Panda and Munim Sakaria -- from Machhaliya village in Zabua tehsil in Madhya Pradesh, had been arrested in a robbery case. They were lodged in Junagadh jail.
"After taking their custody from a Junagadh jail, we took them to Jamjodhpur police station (in Jamnagar district) this morning, where the duo sought permission from the police station in-charge to let them go to answer nature's call. However, when the policeman refused to let them go, they pushed him aside and ran away," Police Sub Inspector (PSI) J N Jesalia said.
"With the help of local crime branch (LCB), an intense search operation was carried out to nab the duo and within hours we caught them from a field, where they were hiding," he added.
