“The SUV driver tried to run over the police personnel when he was signalled to stop during a combing drive at 11:15 pm on Saturday. In order to stop the car, constable Nitesh Ramji clung on to its bonnet. He was dragged for some distance by the SUV, leaving him with injuries on the hands and legs,” the official from Chandkheda police station said.When the policeman fell, he was in danger of being crushed by a dumper, which stopped in time, he said.”Another policeman, who clung to the half-opened window on the driver’s side, was also thrown off as the vehicle gathered speed. The woman, who was sitting next to the driver, had signalled him to speed away,” the official said.The man and his wife were later arrested and booked under sections 109 (attempt to murder) and 121 (causing grievous hurt to a public servant) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, he said.Further investigation was underway into the case.
