When asked about the video doing the rounds of social media, Shingare said, “The video was shot by our own personnel to show how a suspect can escape through the bars of the lock-up and what precautions can be taken to prevent it. For this, we had asked the suspect to re-enact how he did it. We do not know how the video got out. We are looking into it.”
