Uday Chaudhary, one of the three accused in the murder of National Highway Authority of India engineer Satyendra Dubey, escaped on Monday from the Patna civil court premises where he was bought to be produced in court.

Exposing the laxity on the part of the accompanying police personnel, Uday slid his oversized handcuffs off and escaped.Police sources quoting another accused in the case, Pinku Ravidas, said the accused slid the handcuffs down his wrist, outside the court of Special Central Bureau Investigation Judge B K Srivastava and escaped before the policemen guarding them could take notice. "I saw him run towards the Ganga river behind the court complex, then he vanished," Pinku told media-persons.
