A gang made-up of former and serving army commandos had been hired to facilitate the escape of underworld leaders Harak Kata and Kudu Salindu from the CID custody and they were to be paid one billion rupees, police said.
Security has been beefed at the CID headquarters. It has been revealed that four serving commandos, too, were to take part in the attack.The two former army commandos already in custody in connection with the planned rescue operation have revealed details about the plan to the police.
Police have already informed the Army Commander of the serving commandos involved in the gang.Earlier it was revealed that an armed group led by former commandos would try to enter the CID headquarters, kill policemen on duty and rescue the two gangsters.
Two detachments of STF have been deployed at the CID headquarters. A previous attempt to free Harak Kata from the CID headquarters too, failed and a police constable who assisted the underworld figures is still missing.
