Bengaluru: The police have formed four teams to track down Vishnu, grandson of liquor baron late D.K. Audikeshavulu, who escaped from Mallya Hospital where he was admitted following a road accident in South End Circle on Thursday morning.

The police have seized a luxury vehicle, which rammed into a car and injured a family of six, including a child. Passers-by handed Vishnu over to the police.

The police recovered 110 grams of marijuana from the car and booked Vishnu under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, along with the charge of rash and negligent driving.

Vishnu got himself admitted to Mallya Hospital, from where he escaped using an emergency staircase despite police presence.

The police have got CCTV footage from the hospital in which Vishnu was seen escaping with the help of a hospital staff member.

The police have filed a case against Vishnu for escaping while in police custody. Police teams visited his house near Ashoka Pillar, farmhouse in Whitefield as well as his home in Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh in search of the fugitive.

CCB to probe

The police commissioner has handed over the case to the CCB. “As marijuana was found in the luxury vehicle, we need a detailed probe to track down the suppliers,” said Commissioner Suneel Kumar.
