‘Koreans evaded verification by threatening suicide’
The Hindu
Seven police personnel suspended on charges of dereliction of duty
The two South Korean nationals, Choi Yongsuk and Choe Jaewon, who escaped from police custody from a high-rise residential apartment at Orgadam, evaded physical verification by the police deployed on guard duty by threatening to kill themselves, police sources said on Saturday.
While the Chengalpattu Superintendent of Police placed the seven police personnel on guard duty under suspension pending departmental inquiry, the police claimed that the suspects resisted physical verification every 8 hours and threatened to end their lives if the police “disturbed” them by knocking the door during every change in shift duty.
The police investigation has revealed that the duo scaled down from the 8th floor window to a lower floor with the help of drainage pipes and broke a glass door to gain entry into an empty flat.
