The Thalapathy Vijay government in Tamil Nadu was delivered a brutal shock earlier today when it was reported that 17 inmates had escaped from the Theni central jail. The police were immediately called to action and the jail authorities were suspended for their poor handling.

The Police were able to successfully catch for prisoners earlier today itself and brought them back to the prison. Now the latest developments are suggesting that the department has used extensive technology to nab 8 of the pending 13 prisoners who were at large.

Tamil Nadu Police department work closely with enforcement authorities and utilised extensive drone technology to locate and identify the prisoners who were at large. 8 of these 13 prisoners were reportedly tracked using multiple drones while they were hiding in a nearby forest.

These 8 prisoners have been successfully traced and arrested by the authorities who put the advanced drone technology to very good use. The search operation is under way to identify the remaining five prisoners.

Earlier today, the Vijay government faced a lot of backlash over this prison break incident and they were able to complete a reasonable cover up using the drone technology a short while back.
