Two persons were arrested on Sunday for allegedly assaulting a constable when the Ola cab they were riding was stopped at EM Bypass in the Phoolbagan Police Station limits, the police said.
The incident occurred at around 7 a.m. when a constable of Haridebpur Police Station, Krishna Deb, a resident of the locality, tried to stop a “recklessly” moving Ola cab.
At this point the two accused, Deborshi Bhattacharyya, son of a former councillor of Dum Dum, and Chandrakant Singh, stepped out of the cab and allegedly assaulted Das, who was off duty and returning from a nearby bazar. A senior officer of the local police station alleged that the duo were drunk and repeatedly abused Das before assaulting him.
“When our officers reached the spot after getting a call from Das, we tried to sort out the matter but instead the two started hurling abuses at us before pushing and shoving. It was then that the two were arrested from the spot but they continued hurling abuses at our officers even after they were brought to the police station,” the officer said. - PTI
