Patna, June 12 || In a shocking incident, a woman Constable was killed and two other on-duty officers were grievously injured after being rammed by a speeding Scorpio SUV on the four-lane Atal Path under the jurisdiction of Sri Krishnapuri police station in the early hours of Thursday.
Confirming the incident, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Avkash Kumar said that two individuals, including the SUV driver, have been arrested.
The vehicle has also been seized for further investigation. What has raised eyebrows is the presence of a powerful political party's flag on the vehicle, suggesting possible political links with the ruling coalition.
According to an official, the incident occurred at around 12:30 AM during a special night vehicle checking campaign aimed at curbing criminal activities in the city.
A Scorpio travelling at an estimated speed of 90 kmph from the Digha side was signalled to stop for checking by the police team.
However, instead of stopping the vehicle, the driver rammed it into the three police personnel at the checkpoint.
The injured police personnel Sub-Inspector Deepak Kumar, Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Awadhesh Kumar and Constable Komal Kumari were immediately taken to a nearby hospital where doctors declared Komal dead during the treatment on Thursday morning.
Komal is a native of Nalanda district and her family members were informed about this horrifying incident that led to her demise.
