‘Drink And Drive’ Check: Trader Creates Ruckus, Smashes Police Station’s Glass With Punch, Refused Breathalyser Test

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A trader of Choithram Mandi allegedly created ruckus and smashed the glass of a cabin with a punch, injuring himself critically in the Azad Nagar police station late on Friday. The man’s act was captured in the CCTV camera installed in the police station.

As per the police, he was stopped during a ‘drink and drive’ checking but he refused to blow into the breathalyser. So, he was taken to the police station.

Azad Nagar police station in charge Tilak Karole informed the Free Press that during the checking drive, the officials had stopped a BMW car. When the driver named Sagar Bajaj, a resident of Basantpuri area of the city, was told to blow into the breathalyser, he refused. Later, he was taken to the police station and his car was seized.

At the police station, he was pacing up and down when a policeman told him to sit on a chair. However, he started arguing with the policeman and in anger, smashed his fist on the cabin glass. He then pulled out his hand forcefully, due to which he received a severe injury. Seeing his hand bleeding, the policemen immediately took him to the hospital.

 Karole further said that when the accused was taken to the police station, he had also refused to go for a medical examination and was arguing with the policemen. He was booked under the section of assault or use of criminal force to deter a public servant from discharging duty and for damaging the police station’s property.

Police said that the man was drunk so the charges would also be added in the FIR. Further investigation is on into the case.
