An accused arrested in a drug case at Police Station No. 8 escaped after pushing an ASI. This accused is none other than the notorious thief known as “Makdi” (Spider), who used to climb the walls of people’s houses to commit burglaries and had now become involved in the drug trade. Earlier, people had caught him and handed him over to the police at Police Station No. 8, but a former SHO had released him for personal gain.
According to information, on October 30, the police of Police Station No. 8 arrested Mehboob Ali alias Makdi, a resident of Noorpur, in a drug case. The accused was taken on remand and was being interrogated in the lockup. During this time, Mehboob Ali alias Makdi made an excuse, came out of the lockup, pushed the ASI, and escaped from the police station. The police personnel present at the station chased the accused, but Makdi managed to escape.
Additional SHO of Police Station No. 8, Jagdish Lal, said that a case has been registered against Mehboob Ali, and a search has been launched to apprehend him. He said that the accused would be arrested soon. It is worth noting that several accused persons, named in various cases ranging from snatching to other crimes, have previously escaped from Police Station No. 8 by deceiving police personnel. Most of the escaped accused are still at large.
