JOIN USHistory-sheeter Yashaswini dramatically escaped from hospital a day after the Subramanyapura police registered a case against her for threatening and assaulting a woman who had borrowed money from her.
Police said that as soon as the complaint was registered, Yashaswini (in pic) complained of chest pain and got herself admitted to a private hospital. Following this, two policemen were deployed at the hospital to keep an eye on her.
On late Thursday night, while the policemen were seeking the doctor’s permission to take her to the police station, Yashaswini fled from the hospital. The incident came to light when the hospital staff found her missing from her room. They also found that she had changed the hospital clothes she was wearing.
A senior police officer said, “There is no clarity on the time she fled the hospital. The hospital authorities informed the police that it is not possible to jump from the window. She may have escaped through the main entrance.”
Three teams have been formed to nab her and gather information about her whereabouts, said the officer.
Yashaswini, a resident of Hulimavu, was into moneylending business and charged high rate of interest. On Wednesday night, she went to Tayamma’s house on Kothanur main road and demanded repayment of the loan. When Tayamma asked for time to repay the loan, Yashaswini abused and assaulted her.
Tayamma told the police that a few months ago, she had borrowed Rs 1 lakh from Yashaswini to meet her medical expenses and found it difficult to repay. But Yashashwini started charging ‘Meter Baddi’ and Tayamma could not afford to pay it.
