Two Pune policemen were dismissed from service for dereliction of duty in connection with the escape of alleged drug kingpin Lalit Patil last year, reported PTI citing officials on Thursday.
Patil was in jail in a drug case. However, while being treated at the Sassoon General Hospital he fled in October last year while being taken for an X-ray procedure, the official said.
