Handcuffed Accused Attacks Jail Guard, Escapes Bhopal Hospital During Treatment

A man named Sohel Khan was in jail in Bhopal, India.

He was taken to a hospital because people thought he might have a mental health problem.

While waiting at the psychiatry ward, he somehow removed his handcuffs.

He picked up his slippers and suddenly started running.

He even shut the door behind him to make it harder for guards to catch him.

A jail guard and a woman staff member chased him, but he got away.

Before escaping, he reportedly attacked a jail guard named Satish Dhakad.

The man already has several previous criminal cases against him.

Now police are searching nearby places to find him and bring him back to jail.
