Abid the Fugitive

It is now more than 10 days and 4 or 5 attempts that the police has failed to nab the alleged rapist and the fugitive Abid. Every time the police closes upon him in his reportedly new hideout he manages to melt away dogging them. I wonder why don’t the police take the sniffer dogs with them, cordon off the area, approach his hideout on a bullock cart full of hay disguised as  villagers with big turbans and dhotis, instead of their dust kicking police patrol limousines heralding their arrival from miles, the alleged rapist Abid, I think, could be roped in easily.

But I suppose it needs a different kind of intelligent and inventive thinking hat to wear than the one our police is equipped with.
