Policemen call control room, seek help

In a bizarre incident, 12 policemen today called the state police control room and requested to be 'rescued' as they were virtually confined in a small room at Karai police Academy in Gandhinagar since early morning.
A control room official said, "They are not held captive by anyone. They had been only asked by a senior IPS officer to sit at one place in a bungalow inside Police Academy since morning. The policemen got tired and called the control room late evening, asking to help them get out of there."
The control room officials passed the message to seniors. The distressed policemen claimed that they were not given any food or water by the officer who had ordered them to sit in the room, police officials said.

Later, a police team was sent to the Academy to find them.
"We are now trying to locate them. The problem will be solved soon," said Deputy Superintendent of Police of Academy P G Dhariaya.
