A 22-year-old man was arrested for allegedly carrying illicit liquor and trying to flee in a car when stopped by policemen in Gwal Pahari on Sunday, said the police.

“The accused was stopped at the next police post by another police team. Over 20 cartons of country-made liquor were recovered from his car, for which he did not have any licence,” said ASI.
The police said the head constable, who had jumped out of the way, did not sustain any injury.

He was produced in a district court on Monday and released on bail. A case was registered against him under sections 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way) and 336 (act endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Indian Penal Code(IPC) and relevant sections of the Punjab Excise Act at DLF Phase-1 police station on Monday, said the police.
