The sisters of a mentally-challenged prisoner allegedly helped their brother to escape from a mental hospital in Lahore on Friday, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

According to police, the sisters of a mentally-challenged prisoner of the Camp Jail who was brought to a mental hospital hoodwinked the law personnel and helped their brother escape the hospital.

A case was registered against the three police officials including the ASI who were deputed to provide security. 

According to the FIR, all three police inspectors lied to their officers regarding the escape of the prisoner. They kept on telling them that the prisoner had been admitted to the hospital.

Police said that as many as 11 inmates of the Camp Jail were brought to the hospital for their mental check-up but one of them escaped from the mental facility.

Besides these police officials, police also nominated the sisters of the escaped prisoner in the case.
