Five arrested for stabbing cop in southeast Delhi

A head constable, posted with the PCR unit of Delhi police, was allegedly stabbed in his stomach and thigh by a man who was creating nuisance with his friends in southeast Delhi’s Molarband area. Five persons were arrested in connection with the incident.

All the accused have been arrested and a case of physical assault on a policeman has been registered at Badarpur police station. The incident happened in the early hours of Tuesday when head constable Sanjay Meena and constable Tarachand had gone to Molarband’s Mohan Baba Nagar following a PCR call regarding a quarrel, the police said.

When the PCR reached the spot, they found some men sitting in a Maruti WagonR.

Meena got off the vehicle and asked them if anyone had made a PCR call. One of them got out of the car and allegedly told Meena, “I am Amit Pali, a baddie of the area.”

Pali’s accomplices joined him and allegedly started abusing and even roughing up Meena. Meanwhile, Tarachand too joined Meena and was beaten up by the men, the police said. One of the men allegedly took out a knife and stabbed Meena in the stomach and thigh.

After stabbing Meena, they tried to run away from there. Meena and Tarachand gave them a chase and managed to grab Pali.

The cops alerted Badarpur police station and more personnel arrived at the spot. Meena was rushed to a hospital where he was still undergoing treatment.

The police said he was out of danger and will be discharged from the hospital soon.

Pali told the police about his other accomplices — Jitu, Aadil, Atul and Ravi, the police said, adding that it was Jitu who had stabbed Meena. All the arrested had criminal records, the police said.
