Two Ghaziabad Constables Arrested in Alleged Dasna Jail Escape Plot

An internal probe now focuses on a suspected cash-for-escape plot.

Overview

  • Sachin Kumar and Rahul Kumar, posted at the Ghaziabad Police Lines, were suspended and arrested after allegedly trying to take inmates out of Dasna Jail using what appeared to be a production warrant.
  • The pair arrived in uniform in a private car and insisted on taking only Bijendra and Vansh even though the letter listed six prisoners, prompting jail staff to verify the request and halt the handover.
  • Officials confirmed no sanctioned government vehicle, no assigned escort, and no supervising sub-inspector were authorized that day, after which the constables fled but were traced and detained.
  • An FIR was registered at Kavi Nagar police station under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita provisions, including criminal conspiracy, and both men were produced in court and sent to judicial custody.
  • Police say a monetary deal is suspected and are examining records and possible accomplices, while noting the targeted inmates face cases ranging from cheating and forgery to attempted murder and robbery.
