New Delhi, Apr 29 (PTI) Three alleged bootleggers were arrested after a high-speed chase during which they rammed a police vehicle while attempting to escape in northwest Delhi’s Keshavpuram, an official said on Wednesday.
The incident took place around 5 am when a police team on night patrol spotted a suspicious white car, he said.
Assistant Sub-Inspector Mohit, Head Constables Lakshmikant, Sanjeev, and Deepak were patrolling the area to prevent vehicle theft and maintain law and order when they noticed the car, police said.
“When the team signalled the vehicle to stop, the occupants attempted to flee and drove recklessly, deliberately ramming into a government vehicle to evade interception,” a senior police officer said.
Despite the attack, the police team pursued the car and intercepted it after a brief chase.
Three persons — identified as Neeraj, Pintu and Brijesh — were apprehended, officials said.
A search of the car led to the recovery of 17 boxes of illicit liquor, which were later seized, police said.
The accused have been taken into custody, and a case under relevant provisions of the law has been registered, police said, adding that further investigation is underway. PTI SSJ SSJ KSI KSI
