The Nuh SP, who has been leading a drive against dumpers overloaded with mining material for over a month, had a narrow escape last night as a driver hit his vehicle at a naka on the Nuh-Alwar road. The SP along with other cops jumped out of their vehicle to save their lives.

The incident took place when the SP, Varun Singla, and his team of around 20 policemen set up a naka near Hotel Taj on the Nuh-Alwar road. They intercepted 11 dumpers and issued challans for overloading.

When Singla’s gunman stopped another dumper, its driver sped up and rammed the dumper into the SP’s vehicle. The accused then hit a constable, identified as Surender, before escaping. The cops chased him, but could only get found the dumper parked on the roadside near Ganduri village.

The accused has been charged with attempt to murder in an FIR registered at Nagina police station.

Singla said, “Two special teams have been formed to conduct raids to nab the accused. Dumpers overloaded with sand and gravel have been causing traffic snarls. We have launched a drive to check the practice.”
