Prisoner escapes from hospital, held at home
Hyderabad, Oct 25 (INN): An under-trial prisoner who managed to escape from the police custody after being admitted in a hospital was arrested at his home in less than four hours.
According to police, the under-trial in a murder case - Afsar Khan was shifted from Chanchalguda Jail to the Osmania General Hospital at about 10.50 pm on Tuesday night. He reportedly consumed some unknown pills in the prison and had to be shifted to the OGH.
He was admitted in the MM-2 of the OGH. However, on Wednesday morning at about 10 am, he gave a slip to police constables Srinivas and Muralidhar and escaped from the hospital on the pretext of going to toilet.
Since Afsar Khan was an under-trial, he was not in prison uniform and was not even handcuffed. He comfortably walked out of the hospital without being noticed. However, the constables sounded alert after realising his escape and immediately informed the Afzalgunj police station about it.
However, the police did not have to struggle hard to trace him. After escaping from the hospital Afsar Khan directly went to his home at Falaknuma and was caught again at about 1 pm. He was brought to the Afzalgunj police station and now faces a fresh case of escaping from the police custody.
