The police personnel, led by Manatu police station Officer-in-charge Pankaj Kumar, were returning in their jeep after producing an accused woman before a court but the locals presumed it was the same Forest Department vehicle that was involved in the accident.

Superintendent of Police, Chandan Kumar Sinha said stringent action will be taken against the culprits.

A hunt was on to apprehend the others who were involved in the incident, the SP said.
