A 47-year-old rape accused managed to run away from the Versova Police's custody on Monday evening. According to reports, the accused was taken to Cooper hospital for a medical examination prior to putting him behind bars.

According to sources, the accused was arrested for allegedly raping a minor girl on Saturday by Versova Police. The accused was produced before the special sessions court and was granted three days custody. Since the accused was a diabetic patient, he was first taken for a medical examination at JJ Hospital. He was then brought back to the Versova Police station for further interrogation.
