Stopped from drinking, two men hit cop in Lucknow

LUCKNOW: A police constable was allegedly assaulted by two men when he stopped them from drinking liquor in public in Nadarganj.


SHO Krishnanagar Pradeep Kumar Singh said Ajeet Singh of Alamnagar and Alok Singh of Krishnanagar bought some chips and water bottles from a grocery story around 4.30pm in Nadarganj on Thursday.

The duo then opened liquor bottles and started consuming them outside the grocery story. When the grocery store owner Shyamlal objected to it, Ajeet and Alok hurled abuses and assaulted him. They also pelted stones and damaged a nearby shop.

Shyamlal then informed the police. Head constable Dharmendra Nayak and constable Amit Kumar arrived at the spot and asked the duo to stop drinking. But instead Ajeet and Alok assaulted constable Amit and even tore off his uniform. Dharmendra then called for backup and soon Ajeet and Alok were nabbed, said the SHO. The duo was booked and arrested on Friday.
