The police on Thursday arrested three taxi drivers on charges of chasing, hurling abuses and threatening a woman police officer with a sword while she was returning home in her car after night duty here two days ago, an official said.
The three were arrested in different localities of Bhubaneswar, DCP Prateek Singh said.
In her complaint, Sub-Inspector Subhasree Nayak of Mahila Police Station in Bhubaneswar said a group of three men in an SUV chased and hurled abuses while she was returning home in her car after night duty on January 2 near the Science Park area.
They followed her as she diverted the route and reached near Police Reserve Ground. There, one of the three took out a sword and threatened to kill her.
When she raised an alarm, some police personnel rushed to the spot and the SUV sped away.
The vehicle was identified on Wednesday and the three were picked up on Friday, Mr Singh said. It was also found that they were taxi drivers by profession.
