INDORE: Eyewitnesses of killing at MY Hospital in Inodre have claimed that the when a man pumped bullet into Ram Dayal, three unarmed Indore central jail security guards entrusted with security of two murder accused Dayal and Jitendra alias JD, were napping outside the ward. A woman from Khandwa district, who is attending her ailing father at the same ward told TOI that all three jail guards instead of keeping a vigil near two jail inmates inside the ward, were sleeping in the gallery outside the ward like her. "I saw a man dressed like a doctor enter the ward and leave after a big bang sound around 10 minutes later.

After hearing the sound, the guards went into ward and instead of chasing hurriedly walking killer, asked us what had happened," she claimed. Another woman, whose husband is admitted to the same ward, has the same thing to say about the guards. "I was awake all night owing to my husband`s serious condition and saw a well-built man wearing doctor`s apron and surgical mask enter the ward around 4.

15 am. He first went to xamination and treatment room then to doctor-nurses cabin before looking at a patient`s medical file. The man suddenly turned towards the man on bed number 17 and went near him after which there was a sound like a gas cylinder blast," she claimed.

The man subsequently walked out of the ward and hurried climbed down the stairs of the hospital building, but none of the three jail guards entered the ward till then. Indore central jail superintendent Gopal Tamrakar, who visited the ward after the killing, said jail guard Yeshwant in whose custody Ram Dayal was, has been suspended for dereliction duty. He also admitted that out of the three jail guards in whose custody Ram Dayal and JD were being treated, two were sitting in the passage outside the surgical ward and another guard had gone downstairs for official work.

Denying that two guards were sleeping, Tamrakar said the guards have told that they spotted a man dressed like doctor enter and leave the room around 4.15 am, but didn`t act in time taking him a genuine doctor. "They, however, chased the fleeing killer when they realized that Dayal was murdered," he added.
