4 Booked for Attacking Cop Over Petty Dispute
A minor altercation during a cricket tournament in Ludhiana escalated into a serious brawl, resulting in a policeman and his friend being attacked by around six assailants. The attackers were allegedly under the influence of alcohol. They not only beat the victims with sticks and sharp weapons but also openly threatened to kill them.
The police acted swiftly and registered a case on Monday against four suspects, identified as Kaka, Bhola, Sumit, and Kaka's brother-in-law. The complainant, Suraj, a Punjab Police employee, stated in his complaint that on June 14, he and his friend Jaban were participating in a cricket tournament. After the match, an argument broke out between Jaban and Kaka. When Suraj tried to intervene and inquire about the reason for the dispute, Kaka became enraged and began abusing him. Kaka then called his brother-in-law, his friend Sumit, his father Bhola, and other unidentified persons to the spot. All suspects were under the influence of alcohol.
"The suspects attacked us with sticks and sharp weapons," the complainant said. The police are conducting raids at various locations to arrest the suspects, said ASI Karamjit Singh of the Haibowal police station.
