Rajasthan Cop Attacked By People Illegally Transporting Sand: Police

An assistant sub-inspector (ASI) of police was attacked by more than a dozen people allegedly involved in illegal sand transportation in Jaipur on Monday.

ASI Narendra Singh, who is posted in Phagi police station, was on patrolling duty with other police personnel when he spotted a dumper and signalled it to stop. The dumper driver did not obey, following which the team gave chase and intercepted the vehicle, police said.

"As soon as the dumper stopped in Chaksu area, around 15 people, who were travelling in other vehicles along with the dumper, surrounded the police team and attacked them, leaving the ASI injured," they said.

The attackers managed to flee, and a search is on to catch them, the police said.
