Police have arrested the accused who had managed to make good his escape from Ranchi civil court campus despite presence of two policemen for his custody last Wednesday.
The accused Satyendra Verma was involved in stealing mobile phones in hospitals. He was nabbed for stealing phone from a hospital under the Kotwali police station area last Tuesday and was brought to the court for forwarding him to jail. However, he escaped minutes before he was to be produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate.
Taking the issue seriously a police team under the supervision of Kotwali DSP was formed to nab him. The police team visited his native place in Khusrupur in Patna but he could not be traced. He was eventually arrested from the Sukhedeo Nagar police station area in Ranchi during a raid, said Kotwali police.
It may be stated here that city SP had initiated an inquiry after the incident in which the jawans posted on duty were found lax in their duty. Both of them have been suspended.
