Gangster drugs his guards and flees
Print Edition
An Indian gangster linked to dozens of murders escaped from police custody after apparently serving food laced with sedatives to officers guarding him, it was revealed yesterday.
Vikram Paras, 27, carried out the daring escape as four armed officers were escorting him from the busy Old Delhi Railway Station in the capital early on Wednesday, an officer said.
Paras, allegedly involved in dozens of cases of murder, extortion and robbery, was being brought back to Delhi by train after a court appearance at Bhatinda in neighboring Punjab state.
“He is a desperate contract killer. We have launched an investigation based on the information that we have as of now. We are hopeful of nabbing him soon,” Delhi Police spokesman Rajan Bhagat said.
Bhagat said police were still trying to establish exactly what happened, after three of his guards were found unconscious at the railway station while the fourth was found dazed in a nearby street.
“They were mostly incoherent when a police team reached them,” railway police officer Surender Singh said.
Paras had offered food to the four officers at the station, which his accomplices had contaminated with drugs, before stealing their guns and fleeing, according to the Times of India.
“Four of his accomplices were probably trailing him ... possibly in police uniform, and were ready at the station with an SUV,” it said.
Last year, Paras also escaped after “luring his escorts into a store on the promise of buying them branded apparel.”
