Ferozepur police capture escaped prisoner  from Civil Hospital

Ferozepur, May 1, 2024: The Ferozepur police captured an escaped prisoner on the run after giving a push to the police, just for a short time, admitted to Civil Hospital making an excuse of using the washroom.

Sukhwinder Singh, DSP said, Rishu, a prisoner, who was lodged in Ferozepur jail in the theft case, was admitted to the civil hospital on April 23 and was to be operated on. However, proper guards were also deployed.  He made an excuse to go to the washroom and fled away.  There was a panic among the police and hospital staff.

Meanwhile, the police working swiftly came into action and captured the prisoner within no time as he was not expecting that the guard was also deployed outside the room.  He has, however, been under various Sections of IPC (resistance or obstruction by a person to his lawful apprehension)  for escaping from the custody of police while in the hospital and further proceedings are on.

As to whether Rishi got assistance while he was on the run would be a part of the investigation, the source said.
