Hyderabad, October 10: An undertrial prisoner, who was being treated at the Gandhi General Hospital, gave the slip to his escort police and walked off a free man on Friday morning.
According to police, Nagaraju (25), was arrested by the Madhapur police for cheating innocent people by posing as a doctor and an actor and usurping money from them on the pretext of providing them with jobs. He was remanded to judicial custody and was lodged at the Cherlapally Central Prison as an undertrial.
As Nagaraju complained of stomachache, the prison officials shifted him to the Gandhi General Hospital on Thursday. Two Armed Reserve policemen, Chandrasekhar and Munawar were posted as escorts to Nagaraju who scooted when they were away from his bed.
