4 held for knocking down cop
New Delhi, Jan. 1: Angry over the police for not removing barricades set up on roads to check crime on New Year eve, four young men allegedly ran their car over a 40-year-old constable in east Delhi and injured him. Constable Naval Kishore sustained a fracture in the arm besides other injuries in the incident near V3S Mall in Lakshmi Nagar around 10 pm on Friday, a senior police official said on Saturday.
The four youth Chandan, 32, Tarun, 24, Sandeep, 26, and Jaswinder, 25 were in their car and demanded that the barricades put up near the mall be removed as they could not go past them.
However, there was enough way to do that and when the policemen pointed out this, two of the four men entered into an argument, the official claimed. They suddenly got into the car and then drove past Kishore knocking him down, the official said.
The police arrested Chandan, Tarun and Sandeep Saxena while Jasbir is absconding.
Kishore was rushed to Guru Tegh Bahadur Hospital where doctors said he was in a stable condition.
Chandan and Tarun were allegedly involved in separate accident cases earlier while Sandeep has been booked under Arms Act in 2009. —PTI
