At least five minor boys have escaped from a city-based shelter home here, police said Thursday.
The incident took place on Monday night when the children broke the grill of the bathroom and escaped, they said.
The shelter home authorities have lodged a complaint with the Lingaraj Police Station in this regard.
Meanwhile, the police have launched a search operation to trace the missing children. They also interrogated the officials of the shelter home regarding security arrangements in the home.
However, the children have evaded CCTV cameras and 24 -hour security while fleeing.
On May 1, 2017, 11 children from the same shelter home had escaped by breaking open two ventilators of the bathroom.
