“After spotting their car, we asked them to stop. While I stood near the passenger side of the car, ASI Jagdev Singh stood in front of the vehicle. Meanwhile, the passenger grabbed my uniform. In a bid to flee, Ladi suddenly rammed the car into Jagdev, before driving off,” Khan alleged.

Singh suffered fractures in both his legs and was rushed to the Mohali civil hospital.
