Road rage: Sub inspector booked for thrashing armyman
Lucknow: An Army officer accused a sub inspector of physically assaulting him and attempting to run him over with a vehicle following a road rage incident at Telibagh crossing on Saturday morning. An FIR was registered on Sunday against the unidentified police personnel. Lt Col Anand Prakash Suman, currently posted with the NCC Directorate in Patna, filed a complaint at PGI police station alleging that around 9.40 am, while travelling with his family in his car, he took a turn towards PGI Road when another car — allegedly driven by a police sub-inspector — approached from the wrong direction, forcing him to apply brake suddenly. This caused an auto-rickshaw to rear-end his vehicle. According to Col Suman, when he questioned the driver for coming from the wrong direction, the S-I began hurling abuses. "As I rolled down my window to speak, he slapped me without provocation," Col Suman stated in his complaint. When he tried to stop the officer's car from fleeing, the sub inspector allegedly drove over his left foot with the vehicle and sped away. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Install the Perfect Pool at Home – Start Here Backyard Pool | Search Ads Learn More Undo The officer, who hails from Bilgram in Hardoi district, demanded strict action, saying, "This is not just an attack on an individual but an affront to the dignity of the armed forces."
