Two Ghaziabad Constables Arrested Over Foiled Dasna Jail Extraction Using Fake Court Letter

Police are probing a suspected cash-for-escape scheme and possible internal collusion.

Overview

  • They arrived on Saturday in uniform in a private car with a document listing six prisoners but pressed to take only Bijendra Singh and Vansh.
  • Jail staff verified with the court and police lines, found no authorized escort or vehicle, refused the handover, and the constables fled before being arrested that night.
  • An FIR was lodged at Kavi Nagar police station under BNS sections 260 and 61(2), and both men were suspended, produced in court, and sent to judicial custody.
  • Officials said mandatory transfer safeguards, including separate court communications, a designated jail van, and supervision by a sub-inspector, were bypassed.
  • Investigators are examining financial dealings and records to trace accomplices, noting the targeted inmates face multiple cases in Ghaziabad and Gautam Budh Nagar.
