Stalin Slams TVK Government After 17 Inmates Escape Theni Jail
Police said 13 prisoners remain missing after the jailbreak, and 17 special teams are searching across Tamil Nadu and the Kerala border.
- DMK president Stalin criticized the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam -led government after 17 prisoners escaped from the Theni district jail in Thekkampatti, near Andipatti. He described the regime as a "good-for-nothing government" unable to protect the public.
- The incident follows the recent escape of two inmates from Puzhal Central Prison, with Stalin noting this is the largest prison break since 43 suspected LTTE militants fled Vellore Fort in 1995.
- Stalin, who lost his Kolathur constituency to actor-turned-politician Joseph Vijay, said Tamil Nadu has transitioned from "Breaking Bad" to "Prison Break" under the current TVK administration.
- Mocking Stalin's governance record, the TVK team alleged a history of corruption "from the sugar scam to the school scam of the acting demon," referencing Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi.
- Questioning how such large-scale jailbreaks could occur in 2026 despite advanced security arrangements, Stalin labeled the administration a "government of fools" that fails to protect citizens.
