Car hits constable at barricade, drags him 200 metres on bonnet
Navi Mumbai. In Maharashtra’s Navi Mumbai, a speeding car driver hit a police constable on duty during vehicle checking and dragged him on the car’s bonnet for about 200 metres. The incident took place in the Kalamboli area. The entire incident was captured on CCTV, and its video is going viral on social media. The injured constable has been identified as Dilip Bhoi. He suffered a fracture in the heel of his right foot and is undergoing treatment in hospital.
According to information, a police team was checking vehicles during a routine barricade operation in the Roadpali area of Kalamboli. During this, a white Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire reached the spot. Constable Dilip Bhoi signalled the driver to stop. It is alleged that instead of stopping the vehicle, the driver suddenly accelerated and hit the constable. After the impact, Bhoi fell onto the bonnet of the car, but the driver did not stop the vehicle and dragged him for about 200 metres.
After the incident, the two persons in the car fled from the spot. The investigation has found that the number plate on the car was fake. This has made identifying the accused a challenge for the police. Kalamboli police are examining CCTV footage from the surrounding areas and searching for the vehicle and the people travelling in it.
Police have registered a case against the accused driver and his associate under Sections 109(1), 132 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The charges include attempt to murder and use of criminal force to prevent a public servant from discharging duty. Police are trying to identify and arrest the absconding accused.
