Murder accused and sacked banker Anil Dubey, who escaped from the clutches of the police at Vasai court on Friday evening, had hatched the plan to flee more than six months ago inside the Thane Central Jail. The motorcyclist, who helped Dubey on Friday, had been his inmate in jail, police sources said. 

Dubey was arrested by the Virar police after he brutally killed his former colleague Yogita Chaudhary and seriously injured Shraddha Devrukhkar inside the Virar East branch of ICICI bank in July last year. Dubey was working as a manager at the Axis Bank in Naigaon branch, when he committed the murder.
