Watch: Car jumps signal, drags two traffic policemen on bonnet for 20 metres

A shocking video of rash driving emerged on the streets of India’s national capital, Delhi, when a car jumped a traffic signal and carried two traffic policemen on its bonnet for 20 metres.

In the video, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx was seen taking a U-turn with the two policemen clutching the bonnet, risking their lives. However, the car kept moving with the cops dangling precariously.

According to the police, the car continued to drive for around 20 minutes as the policemen kept holding on to the bonnet.

The incident took place at the Ber Sarai area in the national capital around 7.30 pm on Saturday (Nov 2). 

The police officers, Assistant Sub-Inspector Pramod and Head Constable Shailesh Chauhan, said that they were checking the cars which were passing the busy area near Ber Sarai market.

The car suddenly jumped the red light. When the car was signalled to stop, the vehicle slowed down and then suddenly accelerated.

The police officers fell on the bonnet as the car moved forward and it stopped only after covering 20-odd metres. The police officials were admitted to Safdarjung hospital.

On the basis of the statements of the police officials, a case was registered under sections related to attempt to murder and causing obstruction to a public servant in his duty. 

“A PCR call was received at the Kishan Garh police station stating that an unknown vehicle had hit traffic officers on duty and fled the scene,” said a police officer.

“The injuries sustained by ASI Pramod and Head Constable Sailesh were reported to be minor. But the intention was to kill them,” another police officer added. The investigation into the incident is underway.
