Maha: Speeding car knocks down, drags police constable for 200 metres during nakka bandi in Navi Mumbai

Mumbai, Nov 11 (UNI) In a serious attack on a police personnel performing his duty, a speeding car allegedly rammed into a constable and dragged him for nearly 200 metres during 'nakka bandi' in Kalamboli area of neighbouring Navi Mumbai city today, leaving him critically injured.
The driver fled without stopping the vehicle, police said.
The incident took place when a police team was carrying out a routine vehicle inspection drive in the Kalamboli area. As part of the operation, police personnel were checking vehicles and signalling motorists to stop for verification.
According to preliminary information, when the police team signalled a car to halt, the driver allegedly ignored the instructions and accelerated towards the personnel. The vehicle struck a constable standing on duty and continued moving, dragging him for approximately 200 metres before the driver managed to escape.
The sudden incident created panic among the police personnel present at the location. Other members of the team immediately rushed to the injured constable's assistance and made efforts to intercept the vehicle. However, the driver sped away before they could stop him.
The injured policeman was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for emergency medical treatment. His condition was reported to be stable, and he remains under medical observation. Doctors are closely monitoring his condition.
Following the incident, senior police officials visited the hospital to obtain information about the constable's medical condition. Officials also inspected the spot and reviewed the circumstances surrounding the attack.
During the initial investigation, police found that the registration number displayed on the car was fake. The discovery has added another dimension to the investigation, as the use of a forged number plate could make it difficult to establish the vehicle's actual identity and trace its ownership.
Investigators are examining whether the driver deliberately used a false registration number to avoid identification and whether the vehicle was connected with any other unlawful activity. However, the motive behind the incident and the identity of the driver have not yet been established.
Police have registered a case under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including those relating to attempt to murder, obstructing a public servant from discharging official duties and rash driving, besides applicable sections of the Motor Vehicles Act.
Police teams have been assigned to trace the vehicle and arrest the driver. Investigators are examining CCTV recordings from the incident location and surrounding roads to reconstruct the vehicle's movements before and after the incident.
Police are also checking possible escape routes and have alerted personnel at checkpoints in Navi Mumbai and adjoining areas to prevent the suspected vehicle from leaving the region.
