The complainant, ASI Gurnam Singh, said yesterday he was deployed on the Jawaddi bridge for routine checking where he intercepted a Maruti Alto car. The four occupants of the car, who were not wearing masks, signalled to stop.

“Instead of stopping the car at the naka, they hit me and fled the spot. I fell on the road. Later, I was rushed to a nearby private hospital for treatment,” the PCR official said.
