Cuttack: Two days after an accused in a bomb attack escaped from police custody in Odisha’s Cuttack district, an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) and a constable were suspended in connection with the incident on Monday.
According to sources, ASI Ranjan Sahu and constable Khirod Behera were placed under suspension with immediate effect for negligence and dereliction of duty.
The action was taken against the two following a probe into the escape incident that took place on Saturday.
