Cop killed while chasing gangsters at Bharat Nagar
New Delhi, May 18 According to the police, the police control room (PCR) received a call at 2 am that some people were throwing stones at K-Block community centre in Netaji Subhash Place. Sources said that five-six members of the gang escaped in a mini truck (Tata 407) after beating a person at the community centre. The police pickets and PCR vehicles of the same area were informed of the mini truck, which did not have a number plate. When the truck left the community centre, a PCR vehicle and an Emergency Response Vehicle started following it. The gang while moving in the truck was throwing stones at the vehicles. Constable Naresh Kumar learnt that the gang had damaged police pickets located near the Bharat Nagar police station. At that moment, three PCR vehicles, two police motorcycles and an Emergency Response Vehicle were chasing the gang. Kumar was on duty at a police picket near Bharat Nagar police station. The police personnel from different posts chased the gangsters for about three kilometres until they reached the police station. Kumar and a home guard, constable Shankar, then sped after the truck on a motorcycle and overtook it. The gang members noticed the motorcycle in front of the truck and rammed into it at 'Ganda Nala' in Bharat Nagar at 3 am. Kumar suffered head injuries and died on the spot. Shankar also sustained grievous injuries. He was taken to Shankar Lal hospital. The gang escaped after the police diverted its attention to the two constables. The police is planning to announce a reward for Kumar. Kumar was an ex-serviceman and had joined the Delhi police in 2008. He is survived by his wife and two children, Sachin (17) and Anjali (12). His family stays at Joriya village in Alwar, Rajasthan. The home guard, Shankar (25), is a resident of Kalyanpuri in Delhi. |
