Jafru, lodged in Jaipur jail since October last year in connection with a robbery case, was being escorted by a five-member team of Rajasthan police in a bus last night, when the vehicle was intercepted by unidentified persons in two Bolero cars.
The miscreants purportedly attacked the policemen and abducted a head constable, Prahlad, along with Jafru in their vehicles. The constable was, however, released later.
Two other policemen who were injured in the incident are being treated at a hospital, a police official, adding a hunt has been launched to nab Jafru and the miscreants who helped him escape. PTI SDA HU
