Using all his brains, Jaishankar allegedly used an iron pole to scale 2 walls of the prison, one 15 ft high and the other 30- ft high. Also, he managed to steal hand gloves which he used to neutralize the effect of electric fences covering the boundary of the high-security Central jail.
Jaishankar hails from Salem district of Tamil Nadu. He is married with 3 daughters. Before he became a notorious criminal, Jaishankar used drive trucks for his living.
That was the time when he began targeting highway sex workers. He gained his ill-repute after he raped women in a series.
