A grade two constable attached to Puzhal prison has been placed under suspension after he released a prisoner after allegedly misreading a detention order.
Ravichandran, 38, was accused of a murder in November last year. Soon after detention order was served, his wife Shenbagarani appealed in a court seeking relief for her husband. The court dismissed her petition and issued orders to detain him under Goondas Act. The order copy was sent to Puzhal jail where Ravichandran was housed on other charges. Pradeep, the warder, allegedly misread the order as one asking for Ravichandran’s release and sent him home on April 28. Meanwhile, the local police tracking movements of offenders found him loitering in the area.
Senior officials ordered for a departmental probe in which Pradeep was found guilty. Police caught Ravichandran and brought him back to the prison.
