| [DAWN] An undertrial prisoner beat feet from Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre (JPMC) which resulted in the arrest and suspension of two court coppers over charges of criminal negligence, officials said on Saturday. The prisoner was brought to JPMC on January 5 and got admitted in the general ward from where he managed to escape early Friday morning (Jan 11) despite the presence of the court police, said JPMC Executive Director Dr Seemin Jamali. The suspect had gunshot wounds on his leg which was previously operated upon. He was admitted again to undergo surgery as he felt difficulty in walking, added Dr Jamali. The JPMC director said the coppers deployed at the hospital were present at the time of his escape. "Usually, they [the coppers] did not wear uniforms and appeared to be very casual towards their discipline," Jamali said. |
