The woman managed to outsmart prison security personnel by impersonating a social worker and producing fake NGO documents, according to Indian news agency IANS.
Her lover, Hemant Garg, was working as a computer operator in the office of the Superintendent of Prison No. 2 while serving his jail term.
According to sources, Garg allegedly enjoyed friendly relations with the Superintendent of Prison No. 2, Ram Mehar. So much so, that Garg was allowed to use the official's computer for his personal needs.
