Three persons were arrested for creating a ruckus and attacking cops on duty in Sector 70 here last night. They were produced in a local court, which sent them to three-day police custody.

The suspects, identified as Satinderpal Singh, Avneet Singh, both residents of Sector 70, and Jasmeet Singh, a resident of Sunny Enclave in Kharar, were arrested when they were allegedly creating a ruckus in front of a liquor shop. When cops on patrol duty, including Mataur SHO Inspector Rajiv Kumar, tried to stop them, the trio sped away in their car after hitting the police vehicle. After a brief chase, the cops nabbed them.

The suspects again abused the policemen and even tore the uniform of a gunman of the SHO, said the police.

Inspector Rajiv Kumar said, “Firstly, they hit our vehicle and then attacked us. The suspects were in an inebriated state and were hurling abuses at the police.”

A case has been registered against them under Sections 307,186, 34, 353 and 506 of the IPC at the Mataur police station.
