He was put in Hazari Bagh Central Jail. Jayaprakash along with his accomplices started making plan to escape from the Jail. Their chance came soon on a Diwali day in November 1942 when a large number of guards were on leave because of the festival. It was a daring escape which made Jayaprakash into a folk hero.
