An on-duty police official was injured by two car-borne youth at a naka set up in Doraha. The injured cop was admitted to a local hospital where his condition is said to be stable.

Sukhdev Singh, who was on duty at the Doraha police naka, stopped a car coming from Khanna side. When he signalled them to stop, the two occupants injured him with a sharp tool as a result the ASI fell down on the spot.

The miscreants tried to escape the naka but got stuck in the traffic mess ahead of them. They came out of their vehicle and forcibly entered another car. Accidently, the car did not start. Meanwhile, the police beefed up the barricading disallowing their passage from the front. Panicked, they again sat in their own car, put it in reverse gear and sped away after pointing revolver at the car immediately behind them to make way for their escape. They also took away the service revolver of the ASI.

DSP Payal Hardeep Singh Cheema said the officer is out of danger and has received minor injuries.

“A case has been registered against the two at Doraha police station. Search is on to nab the miscreants,” he said.
