PANJIM: In what would have been an embarrassing situation for Goa Police was averted and saved by a Police Constable Nilesh Gaonkar. An undertrial lodged at Sada sub-jail, who was taken by the police to the Institute of Psychiatry and Human Behaviour (IPHB) on Saturday morning, tried to give them the slip by throwing chilli powder into their eyes in a hindi filmy style.
However, the policemen managed to nab the accused, Dadapir Sheikh, who is involved in a murder case at Ponda. Police constable Nilesh Gaonkar, who is attached to the escort cell in Vasco, in his complaint to the Agacaim police said that he, along with constable Umesh Kharwat had taken Sheikh to IPHB for treatment on Saturday morning.
"They saidthat Sheikh was taken for a check-up to the OPD, when at about 10.40am, he threw chilli powder into the guards' eyes and tried to escape.
"However, after chasing him, the guards nabbed him in the IPHB campus," said police sources. The accused told the police that he found the chilli powder in the Sada sub-jail canteen. The Agacaim police have registered a case under Section 224 (attempting to escape from police custody) and Section 324 (assault) against Sheikh.
