Nayagarh: Superintendent of Police (Nayagarh) Sashi Bhusan Satpathy on Sunday suspended five policemen for dereliction of duty.

Sources said Tapan escaped from a police van in the presence of the five suspended cops.
Tapan, who was lodged at Khandapada sub-jail in Nayagarh district, had also escaped police custody twice in the past as well.
