Murder accused escorted out of UP jail to meet wife

The policemen who took Izlal out of the jail have been suspended but since the issue has now snowballed into a controversy,more heads are expected to roll,sources said.

Izlal was arrested on May 27,2008 for the murder of three students of Meerut College Sudhir Ujjawal,Sunil Dhaka and Punit Giri four days earlier. He is the main accused.

Izlal,the sources said,fudged his papers,with the help of some prison staff,to show he was scheduled to appear in court on May 28,the day some 400 under-trials were to be produced in courts.

The papers brought to me clearly showed Izlal was to be produced in court on May 28. So he was sent out of jail with others. It is not possible to keep a track of papers to judge the veracity of all those sent to court on a particular day, SSP,Prisons,H S Rizvi said.

The question,however,remains why the police and prison authorities werent more careful since a similar incident had occurred just three days earlier. On May 25,there was uproar in a local court after lawyers found three women with two under-trials in the chamber of a lawyer.

SP,City,is conducting an inquiry into the issue which is of a serious nature, Meerut IG Bhavesh Kumar Singh said. Meanwhile,the two constables who had taken Izlal to court have been placed under suspension.
