The Model Town police have registered a case against unknown car-borne persons who rammed into a PCR official on duty on the Jawaddi bridge.

The police have registered a case against the suspects under various sections of the IPC and was checking CCTV cameras to get any clue about them.

The complainant, ASI Gurnam Singh, said yesterday he was deployed on the Jawaddi bridge for routine checking where he intercepted a Maruti Alto car. The four occupants of the car, who were not wearing masks, signalled to stop.

“Instead of stopping the car at the naka, they hit me and fled the spot. I fell on the road. Later, I was rushed to a nearby private hospital for treatment,” the PCR official said.

In another incident in Malaud, Khanna district, five car-borne persons rammed their vehicle into a police vehicle at a police naka.

Sub Inspector Amritpal Singh said he, along with the police party, was conducting patrolling near the grain market, Malaud, where a Toyota Innova vehicle was intercepted. Five persons were sitting in the vehicle and their faces were covered.

On suspicion, they were told to stop for checking. The occupants, instead of coming out of the car, sped up and rammed the vehicle into the official vehicle.
