Head jailer suspended, three cops held over prisoner escape
Karachi
The superintendent of the Karachi Central Jail was suspended and three constables arrested for negligence after an under-trial prisoner managed to escape from custody on Monday.
The suspect, Muhammad Hafeez, a resident of Mehran Town who was on trial for murder and kidnapping charges filed with the
Gizri police, managed to flee during a supervised visit to the Jail Colony, according
to Nusrat Mangan, the provincial inspector general for prisons.
“The Sindh home minister has taken notice of the incident and Jail Superintendent Murtaza Shaikh has been suspended from service, while Head Constable Zafarullah, PC Hashmat Ali Kolachi and PC Safdar Hussain have been taken into custody,” said the Sindh IG Prisons.
An FIR has also been registered and an inquiry initiated on the home minister’s orders, added Mangan.
