Rajkot: An alleged kidnapper, who was arrested on Saturday by the B Division police, fled from the Padma Kunvarba Hospital in the wee hours of Sunday.
The accused identified as Imran alias Mukesh Yusuf Sheikh, was taken to the hospital for collection of his semen sample on Saturday midnight. After his sample was collected, the cops were completing the paperwork. Meanwhile, Sheikh got up quietly and walked out of the OPD room from the backdoor. Police realised that he had escaped when he latched the backdoor from outside. An official said that only one policeman was present in the room completing the paperwork, while others were waiting outside the room on the front side. Policemen went on the rear side of the building searching for Sheikh, but they could not find him as the area was dark.
A constable later registered an offence for fleeing from police custody at A Division police station. Sheikh is a native of Mangrol in Junagadh and used to live in Rajkot.
