Undertrial prisoner escapes from police custody at Amar Colony station

New Delhi: An undertrial prisoner managed to escape from police custody at Amar Colony police station, sending Delhi Police into a tizzy. The incident occurred when the accused, who was brought in for questioning in connection with a robbery case, fled from the station while the officers on duty were reportedly distracted. The inmate, identified as Meherban, currently lodged in Tihar Jail, was temporarily brought to Amar Colony police station for further investigation. Taking advantage of a lapse in security, he absconded from the premises. A police source stated that the escape happened when the personnel were preoccupied with other official work. Immediately after the escape, multiple police teams were formed to trace the fugitive. Raids are currently underway at various locations linked to Meherban's associates and known hideouts. A departmental inquiry has been launched to investigate the security lapse. An officer of the rank of assistant commissioner of police (ACP) is heading the probe, and accountability is expected to be fixed in the coming days. This incident has once again raised concerns about recurring lapses in police custody procedures. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Notably, this is not an isolated incident, raising serious concerns over recurring lapses in police custody and prisoner management.

In 2024, a man arrested in connection with a murder case escaped from police custody. He reportedly jumped out of the window of a washroom at Lodhi Colony police premises, catching the escorting officers completely off guard.
