Though the SI and three policemen besides the public tried to nab him, he managed to escape, police said.

He was arrested 10 days ago and lodged in the sub-jail at Avanashi in nearby Tirupur district after being remanded to judicial custody by a court.

After he complained of not being well, the accused was brought to the government hospital, they said adding a case had been registered and a special team formed to trace him.
