VADODARA: The Raopura police would look into the officers’ involvement in the event after receiving an allegation that Bharat Chunara had escaped from their custody. When Chunara was being taken for a medical test last month, she managed to escape from the Makarpura police’s custody. The police who were escorting him attempted to hide the incident despite his escape. We will look into how police escorts helped cover up the escape, according to a Raopura police official. “The fact that the complaint of escaping has been registered after more than 20 days shows that the police may be involved in the incident,” the source added. Inspector Munafkhan Pathan of the Makarpura police looked into the escape episode and recently filed a case against Chunara. The escorting police allegedly instructed a different individual to act as Chunara and provide his blood sample at the hospital. Later, it is also claimed that bail was granted to the person acting as Chunara.
