VARANASI: A Madhya Pradesh Police team from Singrauli was attacked by the accomplices of an accused to facilitate his escape in Shivpur area on Wednesday, resulting in grievous injuries to a head constable.
A team of four MP Police cops led by an inspector from Bherwa police station in Singrauli district had come to arrest a fraud case accused Ramesh Singh of Mahesh Nagar in Shivpur police station area.
Singrauli cops arrested Ramesh for his involvement in duping people by giving them fake job offers after a case was lodged against him under Sections 420, 294, 506 and 34 of IPC.
After the arrest, the team completed all legal formalities at Shivpur police station and left for Singrauli. However, they had reached a few hundred yards only when several accomplices of Ramesh attacked them and fled with him. When head constable DN Singh tried to stop the assailants he was brutally thrashed by them and sustained grievous injuries.
Shivpur police launched a rigorous manhunt and succeeded in arresting Ramesh and his four accomplices while teams were conducting raids to nab two absconding accused.
The escape bid of accused Ramesh was foiled and he was nabbed with his four accomplices within a few hours. A fresh case was registered and the five were sent to jail, said Cantt CO Abhimanyu Mangalik.
