Rape accused attacks cop at Ahmedabad hospital, flees

A rape accused overpowered a policeman at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital on Sunday, when he was taken for medical check-up, and manage to flee the scene.

According to police, Sanjay alias Sunny Vyas (46), a resident of Ramol in Ahmedabad, was arrested four days ago by Nikol police after he had allegedly raped a differently-abled woman and forced her to beg on the streets.

Around 1:20 pm on Sunday, the accused was taken to the hospital in Asarwa area by unarmed police constable Hemrajsinh.

“The accused had complained of medical issues after which he was taken to the civil hospital for check-up as per orders. Upon reaching the hospital’s trauma ward, the accused asked me if he could use the toilet. I accompanied him to the washroom when he caught hold of my head and smashed it on the water tub. I fell unconscious after the attack and the accused fled,” stated Hemraj in his complaint.
