The accused, identified as Deepak Bohal and his relative Kuldeep Chauhan, both residents of LIG flats, Phase 3, Dugri, were later booked and the motorcycle was seized.

Head constable Sukhwinder Singh said he was on patrolling duty with Homeguard Jawan Achhe Lal, when he noticed the accused on the motorcycle with silencer backfiring. Singh said they gave a chase to the accused and nabbed them near their house.

Singh said the accused stated misbehaving with him, and when he tried to call for backup from the Dugri police station, Deepak snatched his mobile phone and kept it in his pocket, following which he informed the police using Acche Lal’s phone.

Sub-inspector Sukhdev Singh, who is investigating the case, said when they reached the spot and managed to get Sukhwinder’s phone back, the accused realised they were in trouble and fled, following which the police confiscated the motorcycle.
