Punjab Jail Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa suspended four policemen on Tuesday a week after two prisoners escaped from Ludhiana Central Jail, an official spokesperson for the government.
An enquiry found Superintendent Jail Shamsher Singh Boparai; Deputy Superintendent Jail Manjit Singh Tiwana; Assistant Superintendent Jail Parwinder Singh; and Head Warder Nishan Singh negligent.
The two escapees were brothers Harwinder Singh and Jasvir Singh from Rattanpalon village near Amloh in Fatehgharh Sahib. Jail authorities found the two missing during a headcount at the end of the day on May 14.
The minister had promised strict action against authorities found negligent.
