The PAU police station registered a case against Jaspreet Singh, Shamsher Singh and Prabh, all residents of Partap Singh Wala for attacking police personnel.

When the police went to calm down two groups scuffling over some issue, they were attacked by some people at Balaji Nagar here.

Jaspreet and Shamsher have been arrested and the police are conducting a raid to nab other suspects. ASI Manmohan Singh said on the night of January 10, two groups indulged in a scuffle in Balaji Nagar. After receiving information, he, along with a head constable, reached the spot to persuade them.

“When we were trying to pacify the disputing parties, the accused, instead of listening to us, attacked us and tore my uniform. They also threw bricks at the official police vehicle,” a policeman said.

He said later, a case under Sections 353, 186 and 332, IPC, was registered against the accused and two persons were nabbed. The ASI said the third accused would be nabbed soon.
