Patiala, Punjab:

The Punjab Prisons Department today suspended a Patiala jail deputy superintendent of police (security) and three other officials after an inmate escaped from a government hospital where he was brought for treatment a few days ago.

The action was taken on the directions of Jails Minister Harjot Singh Bains.

DSP (Security) Varun Sharma, Patiala jail assistant superintendent-cum-warrant officer Harbans Singh and two jail warders -- Satpal Singh and Mandeep Singh -- have been suspended for alleged negligent in duties, officials said.

Apart from this, a showcause notice has been issued to Jail Superintendent (Patiala) Manjit Singh Tiwana and Assistant Jail Superintendent Jagjit Singh, according to an official release.

Amrik Singh, a resident of Dedna village in Patiala district, was serving his sentence in the Patiala jail.

He was admitted to the Rajindra Hospital for treatment, but escaped from there due to the "negligence" of these staff members, said the release.

During transfer of the prisoner from the jail to the hospital, the rules were also violated, it said.

The jails minister warned officers and employees of the department that any kind of negligence will not be tolerated.

These 20-foot-deep underground dwellings, reached by makeshift stairs, were filled with makeshift furniture and personal belongings, revealing the desperate measures some take for shelter. Located near Modesto, the caves were cleared over the weekend by police and volunteers from local homeless outreach organizations.
