A police constable assigned to guard the suspect handcuffed him to the bed and allegedly left the ward in the night to his residence.
The hospital source said the police constable returned the following morning to find out that the robber had managed to break free from the handcuff and had escaped from the hospital.
After fruitlessly combing the hospital premises in search of the suspect, the constable then reported the matter to his superiors.
When contacted by newsmen the police declined to say anything about the incident but said efforts were being made to re-arrest the escapee.GNA
