The three officials were suspended with immediate effect for the incident involving a criminal fleeing from the court premises in their presence.
The suspended officials identified as Gokul Chandra Nath, Debashish Sinha and Suvendu Das.
It should be mentioned that on August 23, a prisoner held by the Assam Police escaped from their custoday in the Karimganj district.
