Woman booked for hitting, biting head constable

A woman was booked for allegedly assaulting and biting a head constable and manhandling another police personnel while they were responding to a PCR call in east Delhi’s Geeta Colony area.

The incident took place around 8.15 pm on February 1 on Pusta Road when Head Constable Ankur and Constable Javed were on emergency duty, police said. Police said a call regarding a quarrel was received, following which the two personnel arrived at the spot. Upon arrival, they found a commotion in full swing and tried to pacify those involved and restore order, a senior police officer said. During the intervention, a woman, identified as Roopa, the wife of a ‘bad character’ individual of the area, along with two boys, allegedly began abusing the police staff and resisting their attempts to control the situation, the FIR stated.

“She and the others started pushing and manhandling the staff. The woman allegedly caught hold of Head Constable Ankur, tore his uniform and bit him on his right shoulder,” he said. The situation drew a crowd, and some people began recording videos on their mobile phones, police said.

Despite repeated requests by the officers to calm down, the accused allegedly continued to create a ruckus and obstruct them from performing their duty.
