Two police personnel who were in custody for the attempted rape of a teenage tea vendor ran away from police custody in Rawalpindi on Sunday.
A day earlier, both the officials had been booked for the attempted rape of teenage tea vendor inside the Rawalpindi judicial lockup.
Senior police official ASP Umar Abbas said raids had been carrying out to arrest the fugitives and action would also be taken against the responsible whose negligence helped them escape from the lockup, Express News reported.
The 17-year-old chai-wala, A*, had submitted an application with Additional District and Sessions Judge Tariq Khursheed Khawaja, stating that he had visited the Bakshi Khana to collect tea cups on February 1 when two police officials – identified as Qazi Haider and Raheem – locked him up and tried to undress him.
Two Adiala Jail officials suspended over sexual harassment charges
The teenager somehow managed to escape but the policemen threatened him with dire consequences if he spoke about the entire episode.
Acting on the teenager’s complaint, the judge ordered registration of an attempted rape case against the policemen.
In August last year, an assistant superintendent of Adiala Jail, Moazzam Ali, and a warder, Bilal, were suspended over sexual harassment of a fellow officer.
After receiving the complaint, the Adiala prison chief suspended the two officers for three months.
