The FIR states that the constable chases the car on his motorcycle. Later as per CCTV footage, the policeman's bike is seen being rammed into by the car, which then proceeds to drag the constable for about 10 meters and crush him between the car and a parked vehicle.
The arrested accused has been identified as Rajneesh alias Sittu, a resident of Veena enclave while the other accused, Dharmendra, who was allegedly driving the car. At the time of the accident, the constable was reportedly on patrol duty dressed in civilian clothes, in view of increased burglaries in the area.
