Five Neemka jail staff members in Faridabad were suspended on Friday for alleged lapses on their part that led to the release of the wrong prisoner on May 27.
The jail authorities had inadvertently released a 27-year-old man Nitesh Pandey, accused of raping a minor boy by confusing him with another inmate who had a similar name and father’s name.
The second inmate Nitesh, who goes by first name, had secured bail on May 26 in a trespassing and assault case, the police said on Friday. He was arrested on May 24. Both men have fathers named Ravinder, leading to the mix-up.
Action was taken against Assistant Superintendent Mohanlal, Deputy Superintendent Pradeep Tyagi, Head Constable Rajendra and wardens Sanjeev and Rajesh, based on the internal investigation conducted by Jail Superintendent Harendra Singh.
The inquiry report highlighted the negligence on their part, following which they were suspended by the Director General of Prisons, Deputy Superintendent Vikram Gill told The Indian Express.
The error was discovered when the second Nitesh, still in custody, inquired about his release. Records were soon examined, which revealed that Pandey had been released instead.
The police launched a search for Pandey, a resident of Patna, Bihar, who was booked for unnatural sex, criminal intimidation, and Section 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act. His bail plea was rejected in 2022, and his trial was underway.
A First Information Report (FIR) was filed against Pandey on Wednesday at Ballabhgarh Sadar police station under sections 262 (obstructing lawful apprehension) and 319 (cheating by personation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Despite being charged with different offences, both individuals were housed in the same section of the jail as they were undertrial prisoners, according to the police.
