La policía de Tamil Nadu anunció que los 17 reclusos que escaparon de la subcárcel de Thekkampatti en el distrito de Theni el 26 de octubre fueron recapturados en 42 horas, y la BBC informó que nueve guardias fueron suspendidos mientras se lleva a cabo la investigación. Según The Hindu, los internos fingieron un ataque epiléptico y agredieron al personal, lo que desencadenó una operación de búsqueda en varios distritos con la participación de policías de Madurai, Dindigul e Idukki. Los primeros informes indicaron la captura de un solo fugitivo, luego de cuatro, antes de confirmar la recaptura total.

The Hindu también señaló un error humano en los protocolos de seguridad. La BBC destacó la grave sobrepoblación del penal.
