An auto driver arrested in a teasing case gave tense moments to the Musheerabad police when he jumped from the second floor of the police station building on Sunday evening. He survived the fall, but suffered a hairline fracture on his pelvic bone.
Mohammed Javeed, 24, an auto driver from Mohan Nagar in Ram Nagar, and his brother Yousuf were picked up by police for creating nuisance in an inebriated state in their neighbourhood. Based on a complaint by a housewife, Sabiqa Begum, to the control room, the Musheerabad police rushed to the spot and picked up the brothers from the spot at around 4.15 pm.
As the duo were in an inebriated condition, they were placed in the lock up located on the first floor of the police station. “After a while, Javeed started throwing up and constables brought him out to clean up the place. Once he was out of the lock up, Javeed suddenly climbed the stairs leading to the terrace and jumped out of the building,” Musheerabad inspector P Venkata Ramana said.
Javeed landed inside the police station compound and panicked police quickly picked the auto driver and rushed him to Gandhi Hospital. They heaved a sigh of relief when doctors confirmed that Javeed did not suffer any critical injuries. “After the medical examination, doctors confirmed that Javeed suffered a hairline fracture on the pelvic bone and he is out of danger,” deputy commissioner of police (DCP), Central Zone, Tarun Joshi said.
In addition to the nuisance case booked against the brothers under section 509 of the IPC, the Musheerabad police have slapped two separate cases under sections 224 (resistance or obstruction by a person to his lawful apprehension) and 309 (an attempt to commit suicide) of the IPC against Javeed.
