In a bizarre incident from Madhya Pradesh , a man tried an unusual method to escape arrest that seemed straight out of a movie. As police closed in, the suspect reportedly jumped into a nearby pond and hid underwater for nearly five hours. To stay concealed and avoid detection, he is said to have used a hollow lotus stem as a makeshift breathing tube, allowing him to remain submerged for an extended period.

Authorities launched a thorough search operation around the pond after realizing he had not resurfaced. Eventually, officers were able to locate him despite his efforts to remain hidden. He was taken into custody without further incident.

The unusual escape attempt quickly caught public attention, with many comparing it to survival tricks seen in films or stories. However, according to multiple news reports, the incident is genuine and has been officially confirmed by authorities.
