New Delhi: In yet another attack on policemen in the national capital, unidentified assailants allegedly thrashed a Delhi Police head constable and a home guard at a picket in north-east Delhi's Seelapmpur area last night and also fired shots at them which luckily did not hit anybody.
The assailants were still at large while Head Constable Dharamveer (42) suffered injuries in his head after being assaulted with a rod. He was taken to GTB Hospital where he received several stitches. The home guard was given first-aid, after which both of them were discharged.

The magazine of their gun was left behind at the scene of crime," said a senior police official.
