SURAT: A vehicle theft accused, who had tested Covid-19 positive after being arrested, died after jumping out of an moving 108 emergency services ambulance and then jumping from a flyover.Diwan Bhabhor, a native of Banswara district in Rajasthan, was being shifted to the New Civil Hospital after testing positive. The incident happened late on Tuesday night and Bhabhor succumbed on Wednesday.
Bhabhor was caught by Kapodra police and handed over to Amroli police after his involvement was found in a motorcycle theft case in the latter’s jurisdiction. “He was sent to NCH in an ambulance and one policeman was sitting with him. He opened the glass window and jumped outside,” said an officer at Amroli police station. The door of the ambulance was locked.
“The cop sitting in the ambulance grabbed Bhabhor’s lefts to stop him from jumping and asked the driver to slow down the vehicle. But Bhabhor kicked him and jumped outside,” said Prashant Sumbe, in-charge deputy commissioner of police, zone IV.
The ambulance was on Katargam flyover bridge near Neelam Petrolpump at around 10pm when Bhabhor jumped off it. After falling on the road, Bhabhor got up on his feet and walked towards the flyover parapet. “He jumped from the flyover as well and suffered serious injuries. It looks like he wanted to escape police custody,” said police.
S M Patel, assistant commissioner of police, G-division, is investigating the case. “Since it is a custodial death case, a judicial inquiry will also be done and police will submit its inquiry report,” Sumbe added. Bhabhor used to do casual labour work and lived on a footpath in Mota Varachha. His involvement was found in a motorcycle theft registered in Amroli police station on March 21. Police had recovered the stolen motorcycle from him.
