Kill a modern day "Robin Hood" and somebody in India might help you escape from jail:
Officials at Tihar Jail in New Delhi released Sher Singh Rana yesterday after a man dressed as a Delhi Armed Police constable produced what appeared to be a court warrant for him.
. . .
The man who tricked jail officials into releasing Rana showed them an identity card and said three more policemen were waiting in a vehicle outside, the Times of India report said.

The officials realised their blunder an hour later when the real six-member police team arrived to collect him.

News reports said Rana’s escape pointed to serious flaws in security at the high-profile jail.
Ya' think?
