Five policemen were injured when a police team was attacked with stones allegedly by a liquor smuggler’s associates during a raid in Meerut’s Transport Nagar at 11 pm on Wednesday. The liquor smuggler’s men also snatched rifles of two policemen. A passerby who tried to help the police was also injured.
Constable Lalit, who was part of the raiding team, said, “They tried to run away and I chased them, but when they reached their area, they and others attacked us and one of them snatched my weapon. I somehow managed to contact my seniors and the force from two police stations arrived, but they also had to go back because of the stone throwing.”
