On September 2, an inmate named Nilesh alias Chhotel managed to escape from Raisen Jail in Madhya Pradesh by shooting a guard and throwing chili powder into his eyes. The escape attempt was captured on CCTV, which surfaced nine days later. Nilesh, an undertrial accused in murder and attempted murder cases, first asked guard Digvijay Singh Tomar for the keys to the jail gate.
After an argument broke out, Nilesh allegedly fired a country-made pistol at Tomar, who fell to the ground. Nilesh then hit Tomar twice on the head with the pistol before throwing chili powder into Tomar's eyes. Despite being injured, Tomar managed to catch hold of Nilesh, and other jail staff soon overpowered him. During the scuffle, a pistol, four live cartridges, and a mobile phone were found on Nilesh's possession.
Police discovered that Nilesh had planned his escape in advance, asking fellow prisoner Rahul Bedi to arrange a weapon. The weapon was delivered by Shubham Bedi, whose maternal uncle had provided it on August 19.
