Four Maoists jailed for serious crimes escaped from a Dantewada prison but were arrested hours later, police said on Saturday.
The incident in the Dantewada district jail occurred on Friday evening, a police officer said.
This is not the first time that inmates tried to escape from the Dantewada jail. In 2007, over 300 prisoners, including 150 Maoists, escaped from custody.
