Two Assistant Sub-Inspectors were reportedly assaulted by unruly men in separate incidents in Nihal Vihar and Begumpur police station areas on Thursday. In the first incident, the policeman was assaulted by two Santro-borne men in Nihal Vihar.
Police said in the first incident, Nitesh, a resident of Nangloi, was on his way to Rishel Garden when he was assaulted by two men. According to the complaint, Nitesh was on his bike when a Santro car rammed into his bike from the rear. Nitesh flagged the duo down and immediately informed police.
Soon, a PCR van reached the spot and took the suspects to the nearby police booth. While Nitesh was moved to a nearby hospital, one of the men called his friends to the nearest police booth, following which, high drama prevailed inside the booth when the gang began abusing the on-duty Assistant Sub-Inspector identified as Ram Nivas.
According to police, Ram Nivas was assaulted, abused and his uniform was torn off by the unruly men. He was mercilessly beaten and was left in an unconscious state. Police were informed and by the time they reached the spot, the gang had fled the spot. Police have registered a case and are on the look out of the gang.
In a similar incident, an ASI was beaten by a frenzied mob in Rohini District’s Begumpur area when the cop had gone there to attend a call. Police said Vijendra, an ASI attached to Begumpur police station, was out on patrolling duty on Wednesday night when he heard cries of help. As he neared, he found a woman being beaten and went to rescue her. But a gang allegedly charged an attack on Vijendra and beat him mercilessly.
The incident came to light when a passerby informed police who visited the spot and moved Vijendra to a nearby hospital.
Both the cases have been registered in jurisdictional police stations and probe has been ordered into the same. Police said the suspects, who are on the run, in both the cases will be nabbed soon.
