The next morning, prison officials discovered the escape. A massive manhunt ensued, but no bodies were ever found. The legend of Raja, Vijay, and Kumar's daring escape lived on.
As the clock struck 10 PM, the power grid went down, plunging the prison into darkness. Raja, Vijay, and Kumar sprang into action. They made their way to the roof, avoiding the guards and security cameras.
As Raja, Vijay, and Kumar reached the shore, they activated their pre-arranged signal – a homemade radio transmitter. A sympathetic boat owner, unaware of the escape plan, received their signal and headed to their location.
The plan was to escape during a scheduled maintenance shutdown in the prison's power grid. The trio waited patiently for the night of January 10th, 1979.
That being said, here's a fictional story based on your request:
Raja, a seasoned con, had been studying the guards' routines and the prison's layout. He teamed up with two other inmates, Vijay and Kumar, who had been digging a tunnel in their cell.
Once on the roof, they began their descent to the ground, using a makeshift rope made of bed sheets. The icy winds and thick fog made every step treacherous.
