Chandigarh: Man acquitted in hit-&-run case

A local court has acquitted an accused, Rohit, who was arrested on the charge of ramming his car into a policeman.

In the FIR registered on August 10, 2019, the complainant, Head Constable Raj Kumar, had stated that when he was on duty in Sector 40, he saw a car coming from the Sector 39/40 chowk and the driver was talking on the phone. He tried to stop the car but it hit him and sped away. He suffered injuries.

A PCR vehicle rushed him to the Sector 16 hospital.

Advocate of the accused Himanshu Sharma argued that the police had falsely implicated Rohit. The prosecution had failed to prove that the accused hit the cop.

After hearing of the arguments, the court acquitted Rohit.
