New Delhi: Two policemen have been arrested for trying to crush a truck driver under their PCR van after he refused to give in to their extortion demands. A third lawman is still at large, a police source said, adding that all the three accused persons have been suspended from service.
According to sources, Siddhu Yadav and his brother Ramnath Yadav were travelling in their truck from Banaras to Kavi Nagar industrial area. When the truck reached near Green Valley, Block C, the policemen and a home guard at PCR-11 demanded Rs 100 from Ramnath. "Though all our papers were valid, they said they would let us pass only if we gave them a bribe," he said.
When Siddhu refused to give in, the accused rammed into him with their PCR van -- fracturing his hands and legs. Siddhu was rushed to Shivam hospital, sources said. Policemen Parvinder and Armaan have been arrested. Vinod, a home guard, is still absconding, they added.
"Any incident of extortion by the police is an act of crime. Not only did the policemen ask for money, they even tried to injure the victim. They will be dealt with like criminals," the SSP said. An attempt to murder case has been registered with the Vijay Nagar police.
