Wildlife Dept driver injured in fist fight with colleague

A driver associated with the Wildlife Department, Panchkula, was injured in a fist fight with his colleague at office here on Saturday. Sandeep Sahu who suffered injuries on his arm and head said the accused had also hit another individual a few days ago. The previous incident led to an argument between the two.

Sandeep was at the Wildlife Department office in Morni in the afternoon when the other employee allegedly attacked him with a blunt object.

“I asked him to apologise for hitting a person the other day. But he came from behind and attacked me with a stick in an inebriated condition,” Sandeep said.

He alleged that the accused usually came to the office in an inebriated condition. District Wildlife Inspector Panchkula Surjeet said the matter had been brought to his knowledge. “Injured Sandeep Sahu is being treated at Civil Hospital, Sector 6. The department officials have been apprised of the matter and we will initiate action against the two individuals,” he said.
