Three persons nabbed in connection with a robbery case escaped from police lockup, prompting the authorities to suspend two police personnel and shift an officer in Jammu and Kashmir's Samba district today.
The accused identified as Zakir Hussain, Lal Hussain and Bagh Hussain escaped on Sunday night from Gagwal Police station in the district, a police officer said here today.
He said they were arrested on June 13 in connection with a dacoity and were lodged at the police station.
"We have shifted the Station House Officer of the police station and suspended two personnel in this connection," SSP Samba, Joginder Singh said.
A case has been registered and a manhunt launched to nab the absconding accused, he said.
