Gurugram, May 31

The Gurugram police was left red-faced when two jail inmates accused of rape and robbery fled from their custody on Monday.

Abhijeet and Rakesh were reportedly being taken to Delhi in a police vehicle for treatment when they fled the vehicle near Subhash Chowk in Sadar police station area.

Sources said the duo belonged to the Kala Jatheri gang but police were yet to confirm.

Assistant Commissioner of Police, Crime, Preet Pal Singh Sangwan, said they were questioning the officials concerned.

“We are questioning the cops accompanying them. We cannot rule out their connivance as of now. The probe is under way,” said ACP Sangwan.

“Two men escaped. We suspect complicity of the cops escorting them. We are looking into the matter and will issue a detailed statement soon,” he added.

Commissioner of Police Kala Ramachandran said, “They have nothing to do with the gangsters. One is booked in a rape case while the other has robbery/dacoity cases registered against him.”
