In a dramatic incident, four foreign women broke a window and escaped from a shelter home in Bengaluru operated by the New Ark Mission of India (Home of Hope). The shelter, which has been functioning since 1998, houses foreign nationals as directed by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO). A case has been registered, and an investigation is underway.

The shelter home, located in Bengaluru, is a designated facility for foreign nationals who are under the supervision of the FRRO. The exact reasons for the escape are not yet known, and authorities are probing the circumstances that led to the incident.
