India: Unruly motorist in Delhi drives for 1.5 km with policeman on car bonnet

New Delhi: A man dragged a Delhi policeman, holding on to the bonnet of his car, for around 1.5 km near Samaypur Badli area of the capital on Diwali night. The police constable was so much in shock that he filed a case against the driver only the next day.

According to sources, constables Praveen, Subhash, Chetram and Raj Kumar were on duty at Mukarba Chowk. They flagged down a car at the check point and as constable Subhash tried to open the door of the car, the driver increased the speed.

In order to save himself from the speeding car, constable Praveen jumped on to the bonnet. To dislodge the constable from the bonnet, the driver increased the speed of the car and dragged him for about 1.5 km. When the constable was not able to hold on to the bonnet any longer, he jumped sideways due to which he suffered several injuries. The driver then sped away.

Praveen was rushed to a hospital immediately where he has been declared out of danger.
