Md Sohel, 42, was sentenced to two years in a narcotics case, said Jahangir Kabir, senior jail superintendent at Dhaka Central Jail.
"He was brought to the hospital on Sunday after he fell sick. But he managed to flee from the hospital's toilet around 2:30pm," he said.
Two prison guards - Md Nazrul and Abdul Aziz - have been suspended following the incident.
The prisoner fled while the two were on duty, said the jail official.
