Two alleged accused held in a theft case escaped from police station lock up, police said.
Salil Sheikh and Sandeep Kakade were arrested by Vishnu Nagar Police under Kalyan division from Dombivli in connection with theft of a vehicle in Navi Mumbai, a police official said.
The duo managed to break open the lock up in the wee hours on Saturday after power went off inside the police station due to a short circuit in a transformer in the area, the officer said.
An offence has been registered under relevant section of the IPC against the two men and hunt is on to nab them, police added.
