New Delhi, February 19
A murder convict escaped from the police custody today with the help of his accomplices, who threw chilli powder in the eyes of police personnel accompanying the prisoner during a hospital visit in central Delhi, leading to the suspension of three policemen.
Sanjay belonged to Bahadurgarh (Haryana). He was convicted in a murder case and lodged in the Mandoli jail. He was also undergoing trial in some other cases, said a senior police officer.
The convict had gone to Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences for treatment on February 9 and was advised to visit again today.
When he was being escorted by personnel back to the jail, a group of unidentified motorcyclists reached at the spot. They threw chilli powder in the eyes of personnel, said the DCP (3rd Battalion, Delhi Armed Police). – PTI
