A case has been filed on the complaint of constable Mahipal Singh, who, in his statement, said that he tried to stop the car over the issue of "fancy number plate".
"On October 12, at 5:10 pm, I was standing on Dhaula Kuan road going towards Tilak Nagar when I noticed a white car on the carriageway to Tilak Nagar going in Zig-Zag way. The number plate of the car was also very fancy. I tried to stop the car. The driver first slowed the car, and when I went in front of it to stop it, he increased the speed. I jumped on the bonnet of the car and held on to the wipers for my safety, but the driver did not slow the speed of the car and took steep zig-zag turns to harm me. After some distance when I fell from the car, he ran from the site," Mr Yadav said in the complaint.
