Gurugram, June 1 (PTI) A home guard was dragged for nearly a kilometer on the bonnet of a pickup jeep after it hit him at a police checkpoint in Faridabad, police said on Sunday.
The incident took place at Sohna T point on the Delhi-Mathura road when the driver of the pickup truck refused to stop for a document check and drove off with home guard Gaurav clinging to the vehicle, they said.
According to Gaurav's complaint, he along with Sub-Inspector Rajesh Kumar were checking vehicles at the checkpoint when a pickup vehicle coming from Delhi with open rear doors was intercepted.
"When I asked for the vehicle documents, the driver sped away, hitting me. I caught hold of the bonnet and clung to the iron net as he drove for nearly a kilometer. Fellow policemen stopped the vehicle," he said.
The home guard sustained injuries in his leg and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Police arrested the driver, Kundan, from Tirkha Colony in Faridabad. He told police he fled because he did not have complete documents for the vehicle.
