Eight juveniles escaped from a government-run observation home in Chhattisgarh's Mahasamund district in the early hours of Monday, prompting a police search operation, officials said.

The minors, aged between 14 and 17 years, fled from the observation home under the City Kotwali police station limits in the wee hours of the day, they said.

A police patrol had visited the premises between 2 am and 2.30 am, and everything was found to be normal. The inmates escaped after 3 am, said Aparna Srivastava, superintendent of the facility.
