In a startling lapse of police vigilance, two constables in Prayagraj have been suspended after a man, accused of raping a two-year-old, escaped from custody. The incident occurred as the suspect was receiving medical treatment.
Superintendent of Police Deepak Bhuker ordered the suspension of constables Madan Sharma and Atul Kumar for failure to supervise the suspect adequately. The escape unfolded at SRN Hospital late Tuesday night amid efforts to stabilize the suspect's health, which had reportedly deteriorated.
The accused, Jalaluddin, hailing from Rahwai village, stands charged under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and POCSO Act. Police are intensifying efforts to bring him back into custody, as departmental proceedings against the suspended officers have commenced.
