NEW DELHI - Three Pakistani terrorists who have already completed their sentences and were soon to be deported home Saturday escaped from a city hospital after giving immigration officials the slip, police said.
The trio managed to slip out of the clutches of Foreigners Regional Registration (FRRO) officials at the G.B. Pant hospital in central Delhi.
“There were not in the custody of the police. But they were under restraint orders of the FRRO. We have registered a case and are searching for them,” Joint Commissioner of Police Karnal Singh said.
The hospital administration feigned ignorance about the incident.
“I do not remember any such case in last few days. We are verifying our records,” the hospital’s Additional Medical Superintendent, Shashi Gururaja, told IANS.
The police said the three Pakistanis were arrested in 2000 for planting a bomb near Delhi airport. A large amount of RDX was seized from them.
