Two women accused of stealing electric overhead wires from a railway godown in Juinagar have escaped from the RPF lock-up at Belapur railway station in Navi Mumbai. One of the accused, Rupali Kailas Kuhade, 30, was recaptured from Nerul within hours, but the second accused, Shalibai Ashok Pawar, 40, remains at large. The escape occurred at around 2.13 am when a woman head constable on guard duty went to the bathroom, leaving her post unattended.
The two women took advantage of this and reached through the lock-up door, broke the lock from outside and opened the latch before using their sarees as makeshift ropes to climb down from the building. The head constable noticed the women were missing after returning to the lock-up and launched a search operation in the surrounding areas.
CCTV footage was examined and the accused were arrested on September 26. Pawar, however, has not been traced yet. The incident took place during the guard change, when the head constable was unavailable.
