Throughout the day police kept up the supply of food, glucose and water to Singh to ensure that the woman and he himself stayed in good health. “We succeeded (around 7 pm) finally when we had a face-to-face talk with him through the window (with police negotiators perched atop a hydraulic ladder),” he said.
THE HOSTAGE THE LOVER SERIES
We held a series of conversations with him over video calls to ensure that the woman remained safe,” the SP said. “We convinced Singh (to let her go) saying we would not harm him and would help him in accordance with the law,” the SP said, without elaborating further. The woman sustained minor injuries to her neck and hand, he said. “Both did not sustain fatal injuries,” City (North) Superintendent of Police Rahul Lodha told reporters. Singh too was injured when he held out a gun from an open door and a policeman tried to snatch it, officers said, adding that he too was taken to hospital. Police negotiators used a hydraulic ladder to talk through a window to Rohit Singh, who held the woman hostage in her fifth-floor apartment. The first case is for attacking a cop and the second one for attacking the woman. Meanwhile, the man has been arrested and booked under two separate cases of attempt to murder. The 26-year-old woman was rushed to the hospital around 7 pm as she had suffered minor injuries, police said.

A 12-hour hostage drama ended on Friday evening when police in Bhopal rescued a model who was held captive after holding talks with her jilter lover who held her captive in an apartment here, demanding that she marry him.
